[-]Linux Desktop app page is missing newly required install dependency for Ubuntu 22.04[/-][+][PAGE ISSUE]: 'Desktop support for Flutter': Linux "additional requirements" section is missing newly required install dependency for Ubuntu 22.04[/+]on Dec 30, 2022 @parlough as I understood it, the added dependency on the
libstdc++-12-devcame about because that version of the c++ std lib package was no longer an implicit transient dependency of one of the other listed dependencies. I suspect this wouldn't happen very often in the future but I guess the best way to spot this in the future would be CI machines failing because they don't have the required dependency?Just encountered this as well. At least regarding addressing the issue in the website docs, I'd like to suggest adding a tabbed example code box that can accommodate a few of the most widely used Linux distributions to show the command line(s) to make sure the packages are installed, e.g., the tabbed-format used in Google Cloud docs which has a cool dropdown for tabs overflow.

@cbracken @gnprice, yes this is very possible! You can create the text as an include. The include can be local (say if multiple files in the same directory used the text), or it can be global. To see the global include files, check out the /src/_includes/docs directory in the repo.
To include it in the markdown file, use:
{% include docs/<file>.md %}If you create the include file locally, prefix the file name with an underscore. Include that text as follows:
{% include_relative _<file>.md %}BTW, I also like the tabbed content idea. We can do that, too. For example, see: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/editor?tab=vscode

on Aug 20, 2023 Great, that causes both pages to have the updated command.
The bulleted list in the text is still missing the new dependency
libstdc++-12-dev, though:
so I think this isn't yet entirely fixed.(It'd probably also be a good idea to add some sort of comment in each of those files
linux-requirements-command.mdandliinux-requirements-list.mdmentioning it should be kept in sync with the other file. Otherwise it'd be very easy for the next update to happen on only one or the other, too.)- added a commit that references this issue
