Package: syncthing-gtk Version: 0.9.4.4+ds+git20221205+12a9702d29ab-6 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
First, syncthing-gtk may be abandoned upstream. Which is too bad because it's an extremely useful front-end. However, /usr/bin/syncthing has had a change in its CLI arguments without backwards compatibility to accept the old args. As a result, syncthing-gtk immediately starts with an error and asks the user to provide the path to the syncthing binary. This is a loop that ends with the user giving up and the application closing. This renders syncthing-gtk unusable by most users. If you start the daemon in the background yourself with an existing configuration, syncthing-gtk will run, but this workaround is not one that you can figure out without getting into the weeds of finding the discussion on Reddit because Google has been fully enshitified and didn't provide the answer. *sigh* I think this requires two lines patches the way syncthing-gtk is written. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages syncthing-gtk depends on: ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 2.84.4-3~deb13u1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.24.49-3mobian1 ii gir1.2-notify-0.7 0.8.6-1 ii gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 2.60.0+dfsg-1 ii psmisc 23.7-2 ii python3 3.13.5-1 ii python3-bcrypt 4.2.0-2.1+b1 ii python3-dateutil 2.9.0-4 ii python3-gi 3.50.0-4+b1 ii python3-gi-cairo 3.50.0-4+b1 Versions of packages syncthing-gtk recommends: ii gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 0.5.94-1 ii syncthing 1.29.5~ds1-2 Versions of packages syncthing-gtk suggests: pn nemo-python | python3-nautilus | python3-caja <none> -- no debconf information
