Weather applet inop 22.04

Support and Help
1

I downloaded and tried to install the 0.11.3-1 .deb , but I got some unmet dependencies:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xfce4-weather-plugin : Depends: libglib2.0-0t64 (>= 2.68.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libgtk-3-0t64 (>= 3.22) but it is not installable
Depends: libsoup-2.4-1 (>= 2.41.90) but it is not installable

I’m on Ubuntu 22.04.5 with the xfce (Xubuntu) desktop.

I think I’d need to update the ppg to take unstable builds? This is my daily machine, so I’m not keen on that. Is it possible and relatively safe to update just those dependencies?

It’s best to stay within the versions provided at install.

It is just not a good idea to chase dependencies outside of Jammy(22.04) it could impact your system now or down the road.

First can you remove the package?

sudo apt autoremove --purge xfce4-weather-plugin

Then run

sudo apt clean
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xfce4-weather-plugin

Any better? and this is the first I’ve seen this on Jammy, it is present in 24.04(Noble)

Try that first, and then if needed you can file a Bug against Jammy(22.4)

Thanks. When I did that exactly, it just reloaded the old 0.11.0-1. So I repeated, except I did an install pointing to the downloaded deb file for 0.11.3-1. I got the same dependency issues, tried again after ‘fix broken packages’ in Synaptics, same:

kenc@kenc-ZenBook-Q528EH-Xub-22-04:~$ sudo apt install '/home/kenc/Downloads/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.11.3-1~bpo24.04_amd64.deb'

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I suppose I should just clone my drive, then upgrade to 24.04?

Or file a Bug on 22.04

There is a thread on the Linux-mint forum about this problem which is worth looking for as it solved my problem in my 24.04 Xubuntu installs.
It uses a .deb file from the mx linux repos and installs it ignoring the libglib2.0 dependency and ending with a fully working applet.

Have a search and I think you’ll find it but I will get the link for you if you do not manage to find it yourself. I’m just going out so have no time at the moment.
