This is NOT A BUG. We (The PlayOnLinux Team) have stated previously that
whatever bugs are being reported here have been corrected. The version
in ALL of Ubuntu's repositories (as far as I can see) is SUPER old. The
current STABLE version that is recommended for use is PlayOnLinux 4.2.1.
This is NOT available through the default repositories, but is readily
available from www.playonlinux.com
Please add PlayOnLinux version 4.2.1 to the Official Repositories, so
that people can use that one. Filing bug reports for an old version of
our software is counter-productive.
Obviously, if it pops up and says that you are missing a dependency,
then that is the problem. It states that you need curl and 7zip. This is
far from a bug; its a dependency. Very easy to fix. Simply:
sudo apt-get install curl p7zip-full
will fix the "error" that is being seen.
If people want to see updates in the software, then the Ubuntu repo
admins need to bring the version of POL in their repo to the current
version, or simply install POL 4.2.1 from playonlinux.com. If Ubuntu
will not update their repo with our current version, then you will need
to update it via our site, otherwise, we cannot do anything about it.
Hopefully the current version will be pushed into Ubuntu's repository.
Im not sure why it has not been moved into their repo yet, anyway. But,
it is what it is.
