Unable to install release 2.12.4 on Ubuntu and Xubuntu 18.04

[ClavdioV]

Hi everybody. I am using Ubuntu 18.04. I am having problem while installing DOM 2.12.4-1.
It seems to me that dcpomatic_2.12.4-1_amd64.deb depends on libcurl3,
but the installed package require libcurl4!

Install (note the removal and the installation of packages):

Code: Select all

claudio@hal:~/Downloads/Programs$ sudo gdebi dcpomatic_2.12.4-1_amd64.deb

  sound and subtitle files.  You can use it to make content for playback on DCI-compliant
  cinema projectors.

How do I work with DOM without having to rebuild the whole thing?
Best regards,

I had the same issue, since upgrading to 18.04, having the previous version of DCP-o-matic automatically uninstalled.
It's been more than three weeks from ClavdioV's post, but for whatever help might be, the work around I used was to install the latest (at the time) test version, 2.13.20

Apologies, I forgot to put the fix from 2.13.20 into the release version. I'll make a new release 2.12.6 tonight with it in.

[carl]

Please could you try 2.12.6 and see if it's any better?

[ClavdioV]

I am on Xubuntu 18.04 now.
DOM 2.12.6 has been successfully installed, It works perfectly for me.
The problem has been solved.

Thank you, a really good job.
