As it turned out, I looked up my Debian version and realised that Debian 9 was now stable. So I upgraded, not as carefully as I should have, and got a non-booting version of Debian 9. It looked easier to reinstall Debian 9, so after I did that > sudo aptitude install frescobaldi ...installed Frescobaldi 3 flawlessly. So no need for Frescobaldi 2.But you would only ever need one at a time. Also, with a non-booting system, I spent some time on the Fedora partition I use for testing. Frescobaldi 3 installed easily that too. So it seems easy enough on “fresh” systems. I have had similar problems to Andrew with VLC. After trying to install some unusual codec or something I got stuck in an incompatible dependency vortex that I couldn’t escape from. Not fun. Vaughan
