Of course they did. A week after I got jack of not having my weather widget and took the risk of creating a FrankenDebian by installing MATE 1.16. Not rolling back now - it works just fine.

This thing will keep mutating....sooner or later it will brake. Believe meNFT5 wrote: and took the risk of creating a FrankenDebian by installing MATE 1.16. Not rolling back now - it works just fine.

No, I didn't configure it to build a brake system...

Re: Mate 1.14 on Debian Jessie?
I made a new Jessie OBS repository for MATE 1.18 and did a test upgrade on a 1.16 installation I had in a virtual machine. It went smoothly and I don't see any theme issues with what I'm using, but users should be aware that 1.18 is now all GTK 3, all the time, so any GTK 3 themes must work with Jessie's 3.14.

Re: Mate 1.14 on Debian Jessie?
Not fully, the Jessie 1.18 marco MATE window manager can't be installed on Stretch because it wants a library version only found in Jessie; libgtop2-7. Everything else was upgradable in my simulation in a Live VBox session of a Stretch-based distro (antiX 17 alpha) When I had it remove marco and the mate-desktop-environment packages and upgrade the rest in antiX, I could log out and back into a MATE 1.18 session--so I guess it fell back onto one of the other lightweight gtk window managers included in antiX. I bet it could also fall back onto xfwm if that was installed in straight Debian.

Re: Mate 1.14 on Debian Jessie?
It looks like you got a corrupted/incomplete download. Let's remove it from the apt-cache and see if it redownloads correctly.
As root or sudo in a terminal:
And then try the upgrade again--watch to see if it redownloads that file.

Re: Mate 1.14 on Debian Jessie?
thanks for the quick reply @stevepusser, it did download the new file but the error is still this same.
i resolved the error by removing the mate-faenza-icon-theme 1.16.obs using the synaptic package manager and reinstalled version 1.18.0 from there. thanks a lot Steve.

never thought one of my newbie questions would make such progress...
I would exchange everything I know in exchange for half of what I don't.

Re: Mate 1.14 on Debian Jessie?
For MATE 1.18, updating mate-tweak, mate-control-center, mate-media, libmateweather, and mate-dock-applet. Builds should be finished in a couple minutes up there in "the cloud".
