DEB package dpkg installation dependency issue: libappindicator3-1

[qwant33]

Bug Many DEB install packages have been running into issues with libappindicator3-1.

To Reproduce

1. Go to Terminal
2. cd to Downloads
3. sudo dpkg -i particl-desktop-3.0.0-linux-amd64.deb
4. Error: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of particl-desktop: particl-desktop depends on libappindicator3-1; however: Package libappindicator3-1 is not installed.

Expected behavior Expected install. However, many DEB packages have been running into issues with libappindicator3-1 dependencies. Unpacking and repacking the DEB package, replacing dependency libappindicator3-1 with dependency libayatana-appindicator has worked for me on many other DEB packages.

Screenshots

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: 5.14.0-kali4-amd64
• Particl DEB: particl-desktop-3.0.0-linux-amd64

Additional context I keep seeing on forums from a couple of years ago that Debian developers were encouraging this same switch of dependencies. Not sure how many got the word. I fixed IPFS install by using the same unpack, repack method. GH link to overall issue found HERE

Will investigate. Thanks for raising this.
