I tried both the stable and the beta of Wappler.
Upon installing, this warning which causes issues when running Wappler:
pkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wappler:
wappler depends on libgconf2-4; however:
Package libgconf2-4 is not installed.
wappler depends on lftp; however:
Package lftp is not installed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wappler : Depends: libgconf2-4 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).
Please advise
Hi Sheldon,
Welcome to Wappler! Glad to hear you are trying it out on Linux.
You just need to install all the dependencies first with:
sudo apt -f install
As stated on the download page: https://wappler.io/download
Hi George,
I tried sudo apt -f install but, it uninstalls Wappler. Wappler was working on 18.04 but, the dummy package for libgconf2-4 was removed. It has been renamed to libgconf-2-4 (which is installed). For a long time, Ubuntu had both versions in the distro but, they removed the dummy package in 19.04. Therefore, either I need to get a dummy package for 19.04 (maybe a symbolic link) or, modify the deb to use the renamed package.
$ sudo dpkg -i wappler2r.deb

Oh I see! Didn’t knew about the rename.
So you are saying that if we update the Wappler dependency to the new libgconf-2.4 it should be all ok? Even on older Ubuntu’s?
Hi Sheldon,
I’ve rebuild the Ubuntu installer with the new dependency.
Just download it again from https://wappler.io/download_beta
The filename is the same.
Let me know if it works now.
