[SOLVED] Where is xiphos?

edhe1 · 06-19-2021, 03:26 PM

I wiped out a Linux Mint 19 install; and replaced it with Linux Mint 20.1
However there is no xiphos to be found in synaptic; and when I try to do
dpkg --set-selections < dpkg-selections I get
dpkg: warning: package not in status nor available database at line 2428: xclip
dpkg: warning: package not in status nor available database at line 2450: xiphos
dpkg: warning: package not in status nor available database at line 2451: xiphos-data

To clarify and get this off ZRT. For a short while in 2020, Xiphos was dropped from Debian testing because of debbug#947542. Unfortunately, at that time Ubuntu was last synced to Debian before release of Focal (20.04). Thus, Xiphos got removed from Ubuntu 20.04, and consequently, from Linux Mint 20.x. It can be installed from the CrossWire PPA.
