Crossover 20 installing windows scapple - Missing packages

Software PureOS
1

According to their website crossover 20 should work on Debian 64bit
I installed crossover on PureOS (latest)
I am trying to install scapple

Can I do anything about resolving the errors(below);

crossover needs your permission to install missing packages.
This operation must be run as root:

   sh -c "apt-get update; echo -n Waiting for the dpkg lock; while fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend /var/run/unattended-upgrades.lock >/dev/null 2>&1; do echo -n .; sleep 1; done; env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:i386 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:i386 gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:i386 libc6-i386 libcups2:i386 libdbus-1-3:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 libgnutls30:i386 libgstreamer1.0-0:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libnss-mdns:i386 libpng16-16:i386 libpulse0:i386 libsane:i386 libtiff5:i386 libudev1:i386 libvulkan1:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxcomposite1:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libxext6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libxi6:i386 libxinerama1:i386 libxml2:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libxxf86vm1:i386"

You will need to add a repo that has the packages it is looking for. I know this is the case, but I’ve never found anything specifically saying what to point to.

As I now use Ubuntu mainly because of its conformity with stuff, I didn’t continue looking.

However, if you could add ubuntu’s repo you should be able to get all the missing files.

PureOS repos don’t have 386 packages which is what you are seeing here.

You maybe need to add Debian repos to your etc/apt/sources.list:

https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Example_sources.list

I think PureOS is based on Debian testing, so you should use bullseye instead of buster.
I guess the following steps should do the trick, but I did not do it myself and I can not verify it:

Add this lines to your sources.list (you need to be root or use sudo):
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main

Type:
apt-get update

Type:
apt-get install [PACKAGE NAMES]

[PACKAG NAMES] are the missing packages, for example:
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:i386

This post right here is probably why I’ll be sticking with PureOS on my librem 14 when it arrives.

Thanks!

If you add other repos to PureOS, just be aware of the possibility for conflicts and breakage.

No Problem. Using third party repos can cause problems, but using the Debian repos for PureOS should be very safe. Just make sure to change the Debian repos, when a new version of PureOS arrives (most likely from “bullseye” to “sid”).
