    Hi
    I downloaded < dayplanner > from their website.
    As recommended, I used GDebi to install.
    I got a message, missing dependency : libgtk2-perl
    This one is not in the repos ( synaptic )

    Where do I find this
    Thanks

    For downloading, You can find it here: https://packages.debian.org/buster/libgtk2-perl
    Navigate to the bottom of the page and choose the architecture of your system from the list, whether it is amd64 or i386.

    This is an older package, most recently found in Debian Buster (10) repositories.
    Which might mean tracking down additional missing dependencies from the Buster repo's.
    The dependencies are listed with it on the same page.
    At the top of the page for the packages is a search feature to help with any sub dependencies.

    Actually , after trying several times to get this to install, with the packages available,
    I added Buster to the available repos in my systems /etc/apt/sources.list, to no avail.

    And then trying it from in the Devuan test installs , that have some of the dependencies by default I gave up.

    The instuctions here https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/install-day-planner-linux/ are 4 years old .
    The creators site ( https://www.day-planner.org/ ) hasn't been updated in 2 years .
    Debian 11 was about 8 months ago and things have changed.

    At the tail end of trying to install dayplanner, I ended with this:

    A little more looking shows you are not alone looking for a newer version or getting the current version to work.
    From here , https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2474789&p=14094872 , otgers have shown their aingst trying to get it to work with recent releases.
    From in that link , it looks as though there is a flathub version available, with instructions for installing . Or at least partial instructions.

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply, and the big effort put in.
    Yes, it looks as if I have to say good-bye after many years of using it.
    I will look around today for something alike
    Thanks to all.

    My solution to missing DayPlanner.

    The combination of Osmo and Gnome-clocks is doing just fine ( for me )

      you can install and test with these commands

      wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/acoros/files/debs/dayplanner_0.12-1.1_all.deb/download

      sudo apt install ./dayplanner_0.12-1.1_all.deb

    @ manuel rosa
    Thanks for trying, but the results are as follows:
    acer2@taw-acer2:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install ./dayplanner_0.12-1.1_all.deb
    [sudo] password for acer2:

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Reading state information... Done
    Note, selecting 'dayplanner' instead of './dayplanner_0.12-1.1_all.deb'
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    dayplanner : Depends: libgtk2-perl but it is not installable
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    acer2@taw-acer2:~/Downloads$

    also, libgtk2-perl is not < visible > in synaptic.
    ? maybe enabling an extra repo in synaptic ?
    I tried, but....no!

    I went down the list of dependencies and was finally able to install day planner. At least the installation completed, but, it won't open/launch. This is what happens when I try the terminal

    albert@albert-beta0129:~$ dayplanner
    Can't locate Glib.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Glib module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.28.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28 /usr/share/perl/5.28 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28/Gtk2.pm line 30.

    Attached are the deb files I installed

    Try making a folder and putting all the deb files in it except 'dayplanner_0.12-1.1_all.deb'. Then left click on the file and select open in terminal. Then run

    sudo dpkg -i *.deb
