How Can I Update Lutris

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2268 / 2 Years ago, thu, june 23, 2022, 3:02:19

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 desktop and when I try to update / upgrade lutris, I always get this error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 lutris : Depends: gir1.2-webkit2-4.1 but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I searched Ubuntu Packages websites and see that gir1.2-webkit2-4.1:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=Gir1.2-webkit2-4.1&searchon=names&suite=kinetic&section=all

Is only available for ubuntu 22.04 or on debian.

How should I proceed?

If this is from the lutris-team/lutris PPA, you should file a bug report with the maintainers. And yes, you are correct that the dependency isn't available for 20.04.

How you should proceed is kind of a matter of opinion. It depends on how bad you want to use Lutris on 20.04. You have one option of upgrading to 22.04. Alternatively, you could file a bug with the maintainers and hold the current version to prevent automatic upgrades so that you can continue using a non-upgraded version of Lutirs on 20.04. If/when the bug is fixed, you could release the hold and then upgrade.

Installing gir1.2-webkit2-4.1 on 20.04 doesn't look like a good option because there are multiple dependencies needed for gir1.2-webkit2-4.1 that are not available on 20.04.

gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 is available on both 20.04 and later versions like 22.04 and newer. Using this version instead of gir1.2-webkit2-4.1 may be an option for the developers and you may want to mention this when filing the bug report.

EDIT

A final option would be to download and install the deb from their github but you will have to manually download and install future updates. This version uses gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 so there should be no dependency issues.

Also, you will probably have to either disable the PPA until they fix the bug or hold the github version to prevent automatic upgrades
after installation (again, until they fix the bug).
