I followed the source compile instructions for the most recent Pycam
release and got the error.

"Unable to locate package python-gtk2"

It is seemingly uninstallable in Debian/MX21

Anyone has an idea how to get pycam working on Debian ?

  You need to use the latest version of PyCam from git. None of the releases will work with any modern version of Debian/Ubuntu/Mint.
