Latest Gajim on Debian stable
Problem: Because of complex dependencies, #Gajim 1.5.2 cannot be backported to #Debian stable easily. How to run it anyway without having to resort to oddities like flatpack or snap?
Solution:
① sudo apt install debootstrap schroot
② Add to /etc/schroot/schroot.conf
:
[bookworm]
description=Debian bookworm (testing)
type=directory
directory=/var/lib/machines/bookworm
users=you
groups=you
root-users=you
root-groups=root
personality=linux
preserve-environment=true
③ Maybe uncomment some lines in /etc/schroot/default/fstab
, if desired
④ sudo debootstrap --variant=minbase --include=sudo bookworm /var/lib/machines/bookworm https://deb.debian.org/debian
⑤ schroot -c bookworm
⑥ sudo apt install gajim
(this is inside the schroot)
⑦ ctrl-d
(to leave the schroot)
⑧ schroot -c bookworm gajim
and enjoy
