I'm looking for a pattern in what works and what doesn't. Here is the test:
install a Bible unique to eBible.org.
Front end
version
Sword version
OS
Result
Xiphos
4.1.0
1.8.1
Windows 10
PASS
Xiphos
4.0.7
1.7.3
Ubuntu 18.04
FAIL
Bibletime
2.11.1
1.8.1
Windows 10
PASS
Bibletime
2.11.1
1.7.3
Ubuntu 18.04
FAIL
Xiphos
4.0.4
1.7.3
Ubuntu 16.04
PASS
Bibletime
2.10.1
1.7.3
Ubuntu 16.04
FAIL
Bibletime
2.11.1
? "About" blank
Mac OS 10.13.5
PASS
It looks to me like the conditions for failure are running Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic
Beaver OR running Bibletime 2.10.1. Presumably the latter problem can be safely
ignored, since it appears to have been fixed in the current version. However,
it seems to me to be worth investigating what it is about Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic
Beaver that is causing a module manager failure in both Bibletime and Xiphos.
Is it the older version of the Sword engine? If so, why does that version work
on the previous LTS version of Ubuntu?
This seems to be a worthy puzzle to solve. Ubuntu LTS releases are the ones
supported by UBS and SIL for Bible translation use, and the Bible translations
in the eBible.org repository are frequently used as reference works by Bible
translators. Not only that, but for many end users, the only Bible in their own
language is in the eBible.org repository.
Any clues?
