Debian Repository currently not working for stable

[domsch1988]

The official recommendation from the website for debian stable seems to be, to use the i3 repository to get the latest stable release. At the moment, this isn't working as debian stable is missing some dependcies in their newer version. Specifically for me:

• libc6 (>= 2.38)
• libev4t64 (>= 1:4.04)
• libglib2.0-0t64 (>= 2.52.0)

Those aren't installable on debian stable at the moment and aren't provided by your Repository.

Which repository specifically are you using?

debian.sur5r.net contains a Debian bookworm build as well, so try that if you haven’t.

I used the repo from Point 3 on this site: https://i3wm.org/docs/repositories.html
Not sure how exactly the other repository works. Adding deb http://debian.sur5r.net/i3/dists/bookworm all main to my sources doesn't work as it can't find the Release file. I'd be happy to test this if you can provide the working Repo URL.

Follow the instructions from point “2.1. Stable releases” from https://i3wm.org/docs/repositories.html

But replace the third line with:

echo "deb http://debian.sur5r.net/i3/ bookworm main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sur5r-i3.list
