Broken dependency in Ubuntu 22.10 ?

[llinfrance]

Hi,
First, thanks a lot for regolith, I love it ❤️

Since I switched for Ubuntu 22.10, I am unable to install i3xrocks-time. It seems due to an unmet dependency:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 regolith-control-center : Depends: libgnome-desktop-3-19 (>= 3.33.4) but it is not installable

Do you know how to fix this issue ?

Best

Hello, hmm some users have reported this but I have been unable to reproduce it. Perhaps it only happens during an update from an earlier version of Ubuntu. Did you install Regolith into an existing Ubuntu, and if so what version? If you installed via ISO, what version did you start with?

Regarding that package dependency, here is what my kinetic test machine says:

$ apt list --installed | grep libgnome-desktop-

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

$ apt show regolith-control-center | grep Depends

Thanks for your answer.

Running the two commands, I get :

❯ apt list --installed | grep libgnome-desktop-

As you can see, the issue seems to be that my regolith-control-center depends on an older version of libgnome-desktop, and I don't know why ? 😢
Maybe it is due to the apt package ?

❯ catn /etc/apt/sources.list.d/regolith.list

Concerning the system update, I switched recently from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10, not from an ISO file.

edit: I checked on all the branches of regolith-control-center on github, but none of the control.in files contain my dependency of libgnome-desktop-3-19. It is either -3-dev or 4-*

edit2: my mistake ! (Obviously...) My apt source was still on 22.04 (jammy) instead of 22.10 (kinetic). Thanks again for your time.
