Thunderbird 148 ...

Hello everyone,

I wan to install Thunderbird (thunderbird_148.0.1-1_amd64.deb)
but I can't because it asks me to install libc6_2.42-13_amd64.deb beforehand, and it won't install.

The other two dependencies are installed correctly:
libotr5t64_4.1.1-6_amd64.deb and libvpx12_1.16.0-3_amd64.deb.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thank you for your replies.

Sincerely,

"148.0.1-1" is not version from Debian 13 Trixie repositories.

Install Thunderbird in terminal:
$ sudo apt install thunderbird
and post back the result.

Are you using Q4OS ?

Re: Thunderbird 148 ...

Yes, I'm using Q4OS Andromeda, but after a restore with S4-Snapshot, Debian GNU/Linux 13 appeared.
At boot, it's still Q4OS. I mentioned this in a previous post. I should probably do it again.

Yes, it's still Q4OS with its original repositories. Verify with the command:
$ get-q4os-version
$ qrepolist
and post back the output.

Install Thunderbird in terminal:
$ sudo apt install thunderbird
and post back the result.

Re: Thunderbird 148 ...

If I run `sudo apt install thunderbird`, it will install Thunderbird 140.8 ESR,
but I want to install Thunderbird 148.0.1 because I have several profiles that
I need to recreate with ESR. These are profiles that come from Windows with
some specific features. Currently, I have the release version, which doesn't update.

Re: Thunderbird 148 ...

1. You have added a suspicious alien repository, which may cause broken dependencies, inconsistent state in your APT system and thus non-installable packages.

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ questing main

2. Thunderbird. So what exact way are you trying to install the Thunderbird package ?

Re: Thunderbird 148 ...

From this site I downloaded thunderbird_148.0.1-1_amd64.deb:

http://snapshot.debian.org/package/thun … :148.0.1-1
Along with the corresponding language pack.

As for Wine, I'm going to uninstall and reinstall it; there was an error.

Re: Thunderbird 148 ...

It’s not possible to install this package in that way on Debian Trixie, as it is incompatible and requires dependencies from other distributions. We also strongly recommend removing the Ubuntu repository, as it may harm your APT system. Please keep only repositories and packages that are compatible with Debian Trixie.
