[SOLVED]Thunar custom-actions

Hi guys,

I have here by the German debian-forum about the file manager Thunar,
found "custom actions".

https://github.com/nobodyinperson/thunar-custom-actions
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=11647
http://nobodyinperson.de/content/apt.html

Unfortunately, apt tells me missing dependency of the package findutils

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install thunar-custom-actions
...
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
 thunar-custom-actions : Hängt ab von: findutils (>= 4.6) aber 4.4.2-9+b1 soll installiert werden
E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.

apt-cache policy findutils
findutils:
  Installiert:           4.4.2-9+b1
  Installationskandidat: 4.4.2-9+b1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 4.4.2-9+b1 0
        500 http://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/debian/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What can I do?

 inxi -r

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar custom-actions

- add backports and check backports if there is newer version of findutils. (Probably there isn't )
- more complex stuff like backporting your own .... (probably won't work due to libc6 dependency)
- considering dev seems to be using Ubuntu, check if this is at all true, needing that version of findutils that is.
P.s. There is https://packages.debian.org/stretch/findutils 4.6 in stretch.

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar custom-actions

Have you tried editing the version number for the findutils dependency in debian/control and then building the .deb yourself?

I don't know if the application will work with the old version of findutils but it may be worth a try.

Otherwise, you should be able to backport findutils from stretch (libc6 matches for amd64 & i386):

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar custom-actions

Hey,

The developer of thunar-custom-actions here.

Unfortunately, apt tells me missing dependency of the package findutils

I just added this dependency on findutils just because I needed xargs. I just wrote the version I have on my system. I will change it to findutils (>=4.4) or whatever.

Have you tried editing the version number for the findutils dependency in debian/control and then building the .deb yourself?

That's the way to go otherwise :-)

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar custom-actions

Should be fixed as of version v0.0.17. I set the dependency to

findutils (>=4.0)

Re: [SOLVED]Thunar custom-actions

Thanks a lot for the replies guys.

I'd rather take the finished stretch right now, so as not to break anything.

In this forum, to work the best !

My sincere thanks to all.
