Debian 9 Stretch & libxp + libxp_dev?

#1 Post by pfbram »

I used to maintain a web page on compiling the older astronomy program, XEphem. My instructions worked fine up until Debian 9. It has dependencies on libxp + libxp_dev, but these packages don't appear to exist in the Stretch repo. Are they no longer being maintained, or can they be added?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
One solution would be to download both Debian 8 (oldstable] libxp6 and libxp-dev directly from Debian_Packages and install them with the gdebi package manager of dpkg -i if you prefer, on Debian 9 when all dependencies are satisfied. Note that you'll need to install libxp6 first. But don't add the oldstable repository!
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.
