vimiv: "unable to locate package python-gobject" [Solved]

[neverdimed]

mx linux 21.3

I am trying to install vimiv: https://github.com/karlch/vimiv. One of the dependencies is python-gobject. When i try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-gobject

it shows

Code: Select all

 E: unable to locate package python-gobject

But i installed vimiv on another computer running mx 21.3 and i don't think i ran into this problem, vimiv works fine on that computer

what am I missing?

"python-gobject" is an Ubuntu specific package and you won't find it in any of our repositories. On your other computer, you must first have enabled an Ubuntu family ppa which can have disastrous effects in MX. See here:

https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=44747

[gimcrack]

Not in my repositories I build that as well.

python-gobject

https://pypi.org/project/PyGObject/

You can install it with pip

[Buck Fankers]

what am I missing?

Also, you are trying to install depreciated version.

New, current version is here:
https://github.com/karlch/vimiv-qt

And here you have instructions how to install it:
https://karlch.github.io/vimiv-qt/docum ... stall.html

Looking at dependencies, you don't have to worry about "python-gobject"
https://karlch.github.io/vimiv-qt/docum ... pendencies

There is a problem with: "python3-piexif" on Debian but it is optional anyway

thanks. Given what you say, i feel less certain that i installed python-gobject on the other computer, i just assumed i did becuase vimiv is working on it. How can i check if i did install it? (because i would like to undo that mistake)

@gimcrack
I searched our repos in the default, AHS and KDE versions using both MXPI and Synaptic and it could not be located.. To back up your statement, you should really post your QSI.

As a start, you should post the QSI from the other machine.
