Byzantium backports unofficial

So when I did it, I just did sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade but then it hadn’t upgraded phosh so I did sudo apt full-upgrade and that is probably where my problem lies

Yes, you are right, full-upgrade failed. I lost one package, sorry. I’ve replaced the link to the archive. Please try again. Thank you a lot for your feedback!

I got it!
I had to purism@pureos:~$ sudo apt install chatty tracker-miner-fs and then everything installed.

Great!
Now you could share your experience! :wink:

By the way, I’ve updated the archive again (rygel-related packages have been added to avoid your latest issue).

I really enjoy the updated packages. I haven’t found anything to break yet but I will report back if/when I do.

Thank you so much for your work on this. Outside of a few hiccups these have worked fantastic on my new Librem 5 and really makes me excited for what Crimson has in store.

While almost everything installed smoothly I’ve come across two errors that I’ve been trying to troubleshoot the past couple days. One involving gnome-books and the other involving gnome-maps which were both removed after upgrading everything else.

Here’s what I get when trying to install gnome-books:

And here’s what I get when trying to install gnome-maps:

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

I’ve tried installing with folks-common and libfolks-eds25 to no success.

I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thanks again for the great work!

Thank you for appreciating my contribution! :slight_smile:

As far as I see gnome-books is deprecated… It is excluded from bookworm and trixie but I will try to rebuild.

gnome-maps has additional dependencies and I need more time to resolve it.

I will keep you informed :slight_smile:

I very much appreciate that. :slightly_smiling_face:
I will continue to use the phone and keep testing while I prepare it for daily use but so far everything else seems to work well. :+1:

Finally, I was managed to rebuild gnome-books and gnome-maps too! Please see UPD2 note in the first post :slight_smile:

I’ve just installed these and both appear to be working great! I especially appreciate having the latest version of Maps.

Thank you again for all of your work on this! :grin:

I thought people said “Pure Maps” was a way better product than “Gnome Maps.” I’ve been meaning to download it, but I also heard it was a flatpak and those require determining what flatpak server to download from, and I didn’t spend the time on it yet.

But is there a reason you prefer Gnome Maps over Pure Maps?

Mostly familiarity, I’m not that familiar with Pure Maps so I couldn’t make a real case for or against it yet. Regardless, it’s nice to have multiple options available.

Quick instructions for your convenience:
Add the Flathub flatpak repo:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Install PureMaps:

sudo flatpak install flathub io.github.rinigus.PureMaps

Right but do I trust flathub, and maybe more importantly, so I trust rinigus? I know that I trust Purism, but with trust decisions beyond that, I figure it’s worth me investing time to double check.

sudo is not needed for Flatpak commands.

You can audit the source code and/or documentation:

The main disadvantage of flathub apps for me is the big overhead in disk and RAM usage. That is why I believe that you daily apps should be built in a native environment.

Flathub is already included in the Byzantium install. At least, it was for me.
