Impossible to install on Debian Strecth

[sylsta]

Dear all,
Thanks for this great project.
I have a problem when trying to install Iridium

sylvain@gozo:~$ sudo apt-get install iridium-browser
[...]
 iridium-browser : Dépend: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.11.94) mais 2.11.0-6.7+b1 devra être installé

Sorry it's written in french, but it must be explicit for all. It seems that there is dependecy problem with an up to date debian 9 stretch ( 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Thanks for any advice.
All the best.
S.

Hi Sylsta,

(I am french also)...
Here you will find another thread created for the same question.
The only solution didn't work for me, and the best thing is to wait a bit because the member longsleep said:
I am considering to switch the build system for Iridium for Debian/Ubuntu to Debian 9 to fix this issue. Will test if feasible and if so the next build has this resolved.

Have a nice day,
Richard

Since of compiler requirements distros like Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 are becoming too old and thus are harder and harder to support at all. I am closing this for now - let's hope we get Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian 10 working for now.

The MX Linux version is built upon and compatible with generic Stretch:
