[kieran1188]

All following update (1.2.0-1 - 1.2.3-1) are not working and come up with the following error.

Please share that following error in plaintext in your post.

Sorry, New updates are now working. When I logged it the first time, I was being late for work. It came up with an error regarding some Facebook python error, I've come back from work, and I've tried to see if I can get the error again and no issues now.

[R1kaB3rN]

No problem, and thanks for clarifying.

While it’s hard to say without any sort of log, the Facebook Python error is likely related to the pyzstd module which this project currently builds by default for Debian-based distributions. In your case, the module won’t be available until Debian 13 (trixie), assuming you’re not already on it. For that module though, the libzstd library is a dependency and you’ll need to ensure you have it installed. However, I expect most users to have it installed transitively by some other package as it’s sorta fundamental, and the defacto compression library to use for modern applications.

Closing as resolved. If you ever run into that Python error again, then please reopen the issue.

You should be able to fix that error by ensuring the zstd library is installed in your system.

[R1kaB3rN]

Should be called libzstd on Debian. If you can confirm that it fixes the problem then I can add it as a required dependency.

[kieran1188]

I have libzstd and python3-pyzstd installed and still the error

[kieran1188]

Last working one was 1.1.4-1 of which I'm using currently

[R1kaB3rN]

Sorry, the library should be called libzstd1, not libzstd.

Also, I cannot reproduce this error in a Debain 12 environment created from distrobox.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install distrobox
2. distrobox create -i debian:latest
3. distrobox enter debian-latest
4. cd $HOME
5. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
6. curl -LJO 'https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher/releases/download/1.2.3/python3-umu-launcher_1.2.3-1_amd64_debian-12.deb'
7. sudo apt install python3-xxhash python3-cbor2 libzstd1
8. sudo apt install ./python3-umu-launcher_1.2.3-1_amd64_debian-12.deb
9. umu-run -h
10. UMU_LOG=1 GAMEID=umu-0 PROTONPATH=GE-Latest umu-run ""

Terminal output:

I'm currently on Trixie with backport, what versions of python etc are you using?

When using the version that works, when I use "umu-run -v" it comes back with the following:

When using the version that works, when I use "umu-run -v" it comes back with the following:

Because you’re not using version 1.2.3.

I'm currently on Trixie with backport, what versions of python etc are you using?

The Python version is irrelevant in this issue, and the Debian package we provide is intended and targeted for Debian 12. Nothing more, nothing less.

@GloriousEggroll do we want to support Debian 13, which currently isn’t officially released?

[R1kaB3rN]

Confirmed that a Debian 13 variant of this package works as expected in my pull request #389 using basically the same above steps, except changing the container variant pulled from distrobox to Debian 13 and downloading the GitHub Debian 13 artifact instead.

[R1kaB3rN]

Closing as completed. Any Debian-related issues that are not Debian 12 or Debian 13 are unsupported and will be automatically closed. Furthermore, you should not run into that ImportError related to the pyzstd module because I've confirmed that all the relevant files are expected to be within the package with the correct permissions and ran the command GAMEID=umu-0 PROTONPATH=GE-Latest umu-run ""
