When installing the debian package for the launcher, a dependency error is thrown because I'm missing libpango1.0-0.

Errors were encountered while processing:
minecraft-launcherI actually do have libpango installed, but it's called libpango-1.0-0 (at least in unstable). The other package exists, but refuses to install the required packages.
This all probably happened because I'm using the sid repository. I kinda hacked a solution together, simply by extracting the raw debian archive, then changing the line in DEBIAN/content that displays the libpango dependency to include the dash in the name (libpango-1.0-0)
$ dpkg-deb -R Minecraft.deb folder
$ cd folder/DEBIAN
$ nano content
$ # change the dependency line
$ cd ..
$ dpkg-deb -b . Minecraft.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i Minecraft.debLinked issues

Thank you for reporting this issue here, Kyle. 🙂
We were tracking this issue in MCL-13662, which has been fixed for a while now. But I'm glad you got everything working while you were still affected by the issue!
This bug affects me as well. I'm very thankful for your "hacker" solution. It worked perfectly, and I'm happy I finally get to play the game after hours of researching and troubleshooting.
