.deb incompatible with testing/sid

[Xdavius]

Hi dev,

The .deb in release doesn't installs on Sid/Ubuntu devel
.deb need : libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 as depends but this package is a transitionnal package on Debian 12, and will disapear, replaced by libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0

on trixie sid and ubuntu, the depends is libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 but this is a transitionnal package.

the control file need to point to libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0. this package exists on all distros

https://packages.debian.org/fr/source/sid/gdk-pixbuf-xlib

regards

davius

I have submitted a PR for the change, but for anyone who just wants to get it working in the meantime, you can use equivs like so:

# install the equivs package
sudo apt install -y equivs

# create a temporary directory
cd $(mktemp -d)

# create a control file for the "dummy-pixbuf-equiv" package
cat <<EOF | tee dummy-pixbuf-equiv
Section: misc
Priority: optional
Standards-Version: 4.7.2
