About dependencies

[InternetRebelAKAQuachHungPhong]

Well, I installed with the install.sh right from this GitHub repo, and here's what I found running the Waydroid Settings:

During installation, I got log like this: `wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axel358/Waydroid-Settings/main/install.sh | bash --2024-08-17 18:09:53-- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axel358/Waydroid-Settings/main/install.sh Resolving raw.githubusercontent.com (raw.githubusercontent.com)... 2606:50c0:8001::154, 2606:50c0:8000::154, 2606:50c0:8002::154, ...

But after the installation, I clicked on the app's icon, nothing happens. And here's what after entering waydroid-settings from terminal: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/waydroid-settings/waydroid-settings.py", line 11, in <module> gi.require_version('WebKit2', '4.0') File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 125, in require_version raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available for version %s' % ValueError: Namespace WebKit2 not available for version 4.0

Turns out I have gir1.2-webkit2-6.0, not gir1.2-webkit2-4.0, but for some reason, sudo apt install gir1.2-vte-2.91 gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 command just won't install anything; that package has no installation candidate; when I try to install it through directly downloading its package file, it just requires its own dependencies, but apparently there's no installation candidate nor repository for them either. So, in short, some apps(like KeepSolid VPN's Linux version and then this one) are apparently programmed to ONLY use a dependency of a single version but not higher or whatever, but apparently I don't have the repositories to install those dependencies nor their own dependencies.

I don't know, I'm just started in the..study of the world of programming. So, now I just wonder, if you and other developers can program your program to also use the same package of higher version, like by falling to gir1.2-webkit2-6.0, or basically gir1.2-webkit2-* instead of depending on the absolutely same package, what do you think about this idea? Well, by the way I've already been thinking about..modifying some script(s) so the application can use the newer version of its dependencies present on my filesystem.

My system's info's basically like this:
