Broken download binaries

[scoopex]

When downloading the lates alpha i get a version which has dependencies which contain dependencies which not seem to be correct. The dependency to libflac8 cannot be fulfilled and the dependency to "libgcc-s1-arm64-cross" seems to be weird.

Ah, thanks for the report! It's probably caused by us not yet building a release for each specific Ubuntu version, so some deps have been upgraded/deprecated and probably don't exist any more on 24.10.

When I get back home I'll do a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.10 to see if I can repro this and then build a proper release.

I would like to do this! I have done the package for debian 12, will check it on ubuntu 24

Icon cannot be found when producing deb package. I write .desktop file icon field into absolute path because it can't find icon in the default position. It won't affect other platforms and since the icon already can't be loaded... It could be changed in the future if the resolution of icon is changed.

https://github.com/acyanbird/robrix_deb/blob/main/robrix_0.0.1-pre-alpha-2_amd64.deb This one could be worked. I think there is a problem in packaging tool, this libflac8 dependency not appearing in my distro(debian 12) but it includes another unrelated program. So might be the problem with searching the dependency.

And the icon might not working again, in this case I recommend using alacarte sudo apt install alacarte That's a convenient tool to modify desktop file. You can choose the png image as icon by yourself. It should in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/490x490/robrix.png Plus, this deb tested on ubuntu 24.04

Click on image to change.

we have a new release action workflow, so this ought to be addressed because it uses specific versions of Ubuntu (v22 and v24) to ensure that the correct deps are pulled in for each OS version.
