ANSWERED AirVPN install problem /w Debian 11.0

Recommended Posts

AirVPN fails to install on new Debian 11.0 distro.
It gets a dependency error failure checking for a lib appindicator file and goes no further.
The lib file appears to be obsolete for this new distro.

Can confirm, the dependency libappindicator1 is no longer in the testing repos. The reason is that libappindicator1 was scheduled to be phased out in the Buster release cycle due to upstream deprecation (or at least the abandoning of maintainership). Everywhere I look libayatana-libappindicator1 seems to be promoted as the new replacement against which software needs to be rebuilt. See #895037 #895038; #944872 showing reasons for the transition.

It's a beta. On the download page click on Other versions and select Experimental.
