Debian 13 (trixie) repos

amsynth or calf-plugins problems with libraries

[falkTX]

yeah I have seen it, related to gtk2 usage.
not sure if its possible to have it compatible with old and new distros at the same time...

[libertyrock]

at least remove them from kxstudio repos and leave Trixie's

[falkTX]

you can install the trixie version though, any updates will fail because of the dependencies so it wont be a problem.
something like:

sudo apt-get install calf-plugins/trixie

should do it

apt upgrade tell me....

2 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
Not upgrading:
amsynth calf-plugins

Summary:

The solution is to remove amsynth and calf-plugins from your repositories.

On Ubuntu 25.10, the problem looks like a typo. Calf-plugins relies on "libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0", but the package name is "libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0". After downloading the calf-plugins package and installing it by using dpkg, ignoring "libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0" and having "libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0" installed, the plugins work fine. The ubuntu provided package for calf-plugins has "libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0" as a dependency and installs without problems.
As a temporary solution I added an entry to preferences.d:

Package: calf-plugins
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-kxstudio-debian-plugins
Pin-Priority: -1

Just dropping by to confirm that I am experiencing this exact same issue on a Debian 13 (Trixie) system.

The installation of kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins completely breaks because packages like amsynth and calf-plugins are hard-depending on the legacy libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 package. Debian Trixie has already transitioned its naming convention to libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 (with the extra hyphen).

Because of this, APT throws an unmet dependencies error, creates broken packages, and aborts the installation entirely. Is there any ETA or possibility to get these specific packages recompiled against the current Debian testing libraries?

Thanks for all the massive work maintaining the repository!

Compiling against newer distros would break the older ones.
Since I don't see myself having enough time to take care of this, I think the best course of action is to remove the offending packages.

Quite a few distros no longer have gtk2 in their repositories anyway.
