The Debian version of the Minecraft Launcher Installer depends on a package that has been renamed in the new stable release of Debian, and thus cannot be found.
Attempting to install it gives this error:
$ sudo apt install Minecraft.deb
Note, selecting 'minecraft-launcher' instead of 'Minecraft.deb'
Solving dependencies... Error!
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:
Unsatisfied dependencies:
minecraft-launcher : Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context:
Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
1. minecraft-launcher:amd64=2.1.3 is selected for install
2. minecraft-launcher:amd64 Depends libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0)
but none of the choices are installable:
[no choices]The package it is requesting exists in old stable (bookworm) but no longer exist in the current stable (trixie). This is because it has been renamed from libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 to libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0. The difference is a single hyphen between pixbuf and 2.0.
Environment
Debian stable (trixie)
Note: Line 13 states that there are held broken packages however this is incorrect. I do not have any held packages. The install was attempted on a fresh install of Debian 13.
