Hello,

As I am not satisfied with hinting in my Antialiasing free system, I have tried to install "libfreetype6" (from https://packages.debian.org/source/testing/freetype) in my VM.

This means I replace version 2.12 with version 2.13 .

During the installation I got the following message:

Code: Select all

N: The download is executed as root and not sandbox-protected, because the file "/home/Duliwi/Downloads/libfreetype6_2.13.2+dfsg-1+b1_amd64.deb" cannot be accessed by the user "_apt". - pkgAcquire::Run (13: No authorisation)

My question is:
Does the message "N: The download is executed as root and not sandbox-protected, because the file "/home/Duliwi/Downloads/libfreetype6_2.13.2+dfsg-1+b1_amd64.deb" cannot be accessed by the user "_apt". - pkgAcquire::Run (13: No authorisation)" mean, that the installation was not successful?

It is said: "It cannot be accessed" and "No authorisation".
So I guess to install anything of course "apt" must have access to the file and it need to be authorised. But why does it not have access?

Would appreciate some answer. Thank you.

It installed. It just means the apt actions happened outside a sandbox.

But looking at the output you may have removed things you didn’t want to remove.

OK. With "libfreetype6_2.13.2" I was also not satisfied.

In MX-19 hinting was better. So I decided to downgrade in MX-23 in the VM (for testing) to "libfreetype6_2.10.4" . From version 2.13 to version 2.10

But why does it want to delete so many packages?

because the version of libfreetype you are replacing is a dependency of all those packages.

Thank you.

Question 1: Is there a way to prevent the uninstallation of these dependencies?

Question 2: Why are they not reinstalled, as soon as I install "libfreetype6_2.10.4"?

Question 3: Can I really install in principle "libfreetype6_2.10.4" (which was used in Debian 10) in Debian 12 (MX-23). Is there no compatibility problem? Some times it is said, that you can't install packages designet for Debian 10 in Debian 12 and the other way round. Is this not a problem with "libfreetype6_2.10.4"?

Question 1: no, because you are trying to fit a MX19 package (I'm assuming version 2.10 is the MX19 version) into MX23. Those removed packages in MX23 depend on a newer version of libfreetype. That's how they were built. Dependencies in Linux systems are all interconnected.

Question 2: because libfreetype6_2.12 (official version for MX23] was a dependency of all the removed packages. They cannot work with libfreetype6_2.10.4. Version 2.10 will require installation of MX19 version of those removed packages into your MX23 VM, but of course that will further break your test VM. You will need to remove 2.10, reinstall 2.12, then reinstall each of the removed packages. Also reinstall all the stuff removed by your attempt to install libfreetype 2.13

Question 3: No. I'm sure you know better than that, after seeing all the packages being removed.

You can use aptitude and its multiple solutions to restore the MX 23 version of libraries without removing things. You just have to have patience and work through the suggestions.

Code: Select all

apt policy libfreetype6

libfreetype6:
  Installed: 2.12.1+dfsg-5 (not you)
  Candidate: 2.12.1+dfsg-5

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install libfreetype6=2.12.1+dfsg-5
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing

Some monthes later:

I have solved the hinting problem of my Wine/Lutris programme by starting the programme this way (without replacing the freetype version):

Code: Select all

$ FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35" lutris lutris:rungameid/3
In short: With the old interpreter version (35) I have not this hinting problems.
