I want to use bzr-explorer in Debian 11. How to install it?
I want to use bzr-explorer in Debian 11. How to install it?
bzr-explorer is a GUI for dealing with bazaar repositories. I downloaded its source from https://launchpad.net/bzr-explorer/1.1/1.1.1 , and now i am trying to compile and install it.
First, i checked the REAME file, which says:
Quote:
Dependencies
------------
Required packages are:
* Python 2.4 or later
* Bazaar 2.1 or later.
* QBzr 0.18 or later.
* PyQt4/Qt4 version 4.4 or later.
If you wish to use the applets provided via bzr-gtk, it should be
installed as well.
Testing
-------
To test the plugin after installation:
bzr selftest explorer
For this testing command, i received the error:
Code:
$ bzr selftest explorer
brz: ERROR: tests not available. Install the
python-breezy.tests package to run the breezy testsuite.
And this is where i am lost: python-breezy.tests package.
And then tried to install it, but look at these errors:
Code:
# dpkg -i python-breezy_3.0.0~bzr7210-3~bpo9+1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 359691 files and directories

It does not make sense to me. I have python 2.7. Look what happens and is suggested when i type "pyt<TAB><TAB>" in my command line:

It does not make sense to me. I have python 2.7. Look what happens and is suggested when i type "pyt<TAB><TAB>" in my command line:
Using aptitude, I looked all the packages containing "python" in their name, but found nothing mising. I even had libpython2-dev installed.
It says version 2.7.5-5 of Python...what's yours? And what's first in your path, since you have 2.7 and 3.9 installed?? And why don't you just install the package for Debian?? https://debian.pkgs.org/10/debian-ma...2_all.deb.html
I cannot find any "bzr-explorer" with aptitude or synaptic. Why? My sources.list is:
Code:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye
non-free contrib main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye
non-free contrib main
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates

Probably should find out...why do you have two versions of Python installed??

You were given a link directly to the Debian package for the Debian 10 you said you were using....so why do you have Debian 11 repositories?
I find it hard to always remember the names for distributions, and which version they correspond. So, i write them in my motd file, and check it, when needed. And that is how i left it, the last time i upgraded distribution in this computer.

So you say you're using Debian 10, have Debian 11 repositories enabled, and you (apparently) have two different files of the *EXACT SAME NAME*, saying both Debian 9 and Debian 10.
Sorry...not much I can guess at given all this. You started by saying Debian 10, and I gave you a package/install instructions for that. Past that, you're going to have to figure out why you have two versions of Python, which is first in your path, and get the dependencies installed before you can compile from source.
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release: 11
Codename: bullseye
I made an error with my own version keeping. The other motd* file does not matter. They are there just as a history of what i had there in other moments. I changed the current /etc/motd to be:
Code:
Debian 11 = Bullseye
I have Debian 11 repositories enabled because i upgraded to it, some time ago (i assume). It was with the help of this forum, in an older thread:
Since they are in the same folder, python2 should be found first (i guess). But it is very strange what i just found: the package named just 'python' is not installed. And when i ask it to be installed, this error is given to me in synaptic:
"python:
The package python has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means the package was mentioned in some dependency but was never put in the repository, was obsoleted or is not available with the current data of file sources.list."
Why i have both versions... i think that this is normal. It happened without me doing anything for it, i think. The package installing programs do not complain about any problem within all the packages installed, so, i think there is no conflict of files between them.

The short answer is unfortunately that that isn't possible.

/usr/share/doc/bzr/NEWS.Debian.gz on your system should have details, but I'll also
include it here:
bzr (2.7.0+bzr6622+brz) unstable; urgency=medium
Bazaar has been replaced in Debian with Breezy. Breezy is a friendly fork
of Bazaar that is actively maintained and has been ported from Python 2 to
Python 3.
The command-line interface for Breezy is backwards-compatible with Bazaars, and
it provides the ``bzr'' command for convenience. Breezy will also read
its configuration from ~/.bazaar, if present.
Third-party plugins that worked with Bazaar will almost certainly not work
with Breezy but can be ported with some effort.

Unfortunately bzr-explorer hasn't been ported to Breezy. Until
somebody does so, you won't be able to use it with Breezy.
Bazaar is no longer packaged for modern versions of Debian (the "bzr"
package is merely a shim that installs Breezy), since it only supports
Python 2 which is no longer suppored on Debian.
The Breezy developers have no plans to port bzr-explorer to Breezy.
Though if somebody were interested in porting it, we could probably
provide guidance on the API, etc.
The only ways to still run bzr-explorer, would be to either stick
with an older version of Debian or to install older packages
(from an older Debian) of Python, Bazaar, qt, pyqt, qbzr and bzr-explorer
on Debian 11 - which may or may not work.
I know snap, flatpak, and appimage packages aren't the most popular idea for some folks. Might be the ideal solution here.
I hacked out this Docker container if your interested. It will work for now I think while you sort something out. Not ideal, but it seems to work. The program loads anyway.
