Could not install on Ubuntu 24.04 (derivative) #110
Description
I wanted to install Modelio 5.4.1 on Linux Mint 22, but install (using the modelio-open-source-5.4.1_amd64.deb) fails with
This package is uninstallable
Dependency is not satisfiable: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (>= 2.24)|libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 (<= 2.4.11-3)
probably because the installed version is libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0.
The system is a Lenovo notebook with i5-8250U and 8GM RAM.
Kernel: 6.8.0-48-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce v: 4.18.1 Distro: Linux Mint 22 Wilma

As the release notes for v5.1.0 state: The
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0library is mandatory for Modelio but it's no longer available in the official repositories for later versions of Ubuntu.The following procedure has to be applied :
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line and save:
deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
These steps are copied from the release notes of v5.1.0:
https://github.com/ModelioOpenSource/Modelio/releases/tag/v5.1.0
On Linux Mint you can do the same using Software Sources app and navigating to Additional Repositories.

Thanks for pointing me there, I clearly overlooked the info.
However, I don´t think I want to go this direction, except maybe only in a containerized install: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-11350/product_id-20596/Webkitgtk-Webkitgtk.html ...

If someone on Ubuntu 24.04 is having an issue with adding the source
with an error such as
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not availableYou must identify the key, e.g
3B4FE6ACC0B21F32, and then add the key signature :Hennzau commentedon Dec 16, 2024
My workaround on Ubuntu 24.04, without modifying your apt source is to download those debian files :
Then you should install them with
sudo apt install ./{}.debin backward order.After that you should download the modelio deb file :
And finally doing
sudo apt install ./{modelio}.debshould workpbrada commentedon Dec 21, 2024
@Hennzau Thanks, that did the trick :) I still have it installed in a virtual machine, not on the main computer, due to security concerns.

Install fails on 24.04.3, even pre-installing
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0. The full log is below. The instructions above rely on old programmes likeapt-getthat will fail on a modern Ubuntu release. But even withaptitudethere seems to be no way around current dependencies.I would advise investing on a PPA. Usually it will serve any distribution based on Debian.
Some years back someone started an attempt at a Nix package. Completing that could also greatly simply install.
