Package Request - sudokuki

sudokuki is a sudoku game with a clear background ideal for generating and printing sudoku puzzles.

I found the free program here and the deb file needs java6-runtime

https://sourceforge.net/projects/sudokuki/

Would it be possible to have it in repo?

Figured out how to install java support so it works!

But other interested users may want the software in the repo

I installed the deb file but it didn't work so I ran in a konsole ---> apt --fix-broken install

Then the software worked.

Then that sounds like you just installed it with the dpkg command only instead of the modern apt, or a GUI that installs with apt, because those don't leave broken packages in their wake.

Yes - I used dpkg as I am new to MX Linux.

I will keep in mind using apt if I need to do something like this later.

Thanks
