missing dependency python-gi on autopoweroff-gui

[it-jonas]

Hello, on lmde 5 and linux mint 20.3 python-gi was renamed to python3-gi this prevents autopoweroff-gui from installing successfully as the dependency can't be fulfilled. Seems like #17 had the same problem.

Fixed with commit #https://github.com/deragon/autopoweroff/commit/125a7f8de009b7236b65e1690fd57cac23c67cf4.

I'm still seeing this issue using the 4.1.1 deb package, using Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

$ wget https://github.com/deragon/autopoweroff/releases/download/4.1.1/autopoweroff-gui_4.1.1_all.deb
$ sudo apt install ./*autopoweroff*.deb

Yes, me too since I moved to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS... Ugh... dependencies change with distributions. I need to start creating more distribution dependent packages. Need time to do this...

Fixed (hoperfully) in release 4.1.2. Please provide feedback.

I tried install both 4.1.2 and 4.2.0 on Pop!_OS.

First there was an message about missing python-gi-dev, so I installed that. Now I'm getting this

@creativecoder , the command tell you what the problem is. :)

Package autopoweroff-daemon is not installed.

You have to install the daemon too. The GUI does not include the daemon.

Download the daemon too and then try:

sudo apt install autopoweroff-daemon_4.2.0_all-popos-22.04.deb autopoweroff-gui_4.2.0_all-popos-22.04.deb

If you use apt instead of dpkg, the dependencies will be automatically loaded. Always use apt, never dpkg.

This is the error I get on Ubuntu Server 22.04:

sudo apt install ./autopoweroff-gui_4.2.0_all-ubuntu-20.04.deb

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 autopoweroff-gui : Depends: python-gi but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

@deragon Still an issue in Ubuntu desktop 22.04 with autopoweroff 4.2.0:

There is no python-gi package. I installed python3-gi and python-gi-dev, but installer still complains.

If you use apt instead of dpkg, the dependencies will be automatically loaded. Always use apt, never dpkg.

Using apt does not resolve the issue.

autopoweroff-daemon is already the newest version (4.2.0).

Sorry for the late response. My life was busy.

You are installing 20.04 deb file on 22.04. This is why you get the errors. Please download the files meant for 22.04 at https://github.com/deragon/autopoweroff/releases.
