Cannot install due to unmet dependency libgconf2-4

The .deb will not install using dpkg -i ob-filename.deb followed by apt-get install -f. Instead, the output below is displayed after using apt-get. This seems to be a change in package naming yet while the package still exists under a new name, OB isn’t recognizing that it can use the new package name instead.

This is happening on Debian 10. There is a related issue (#1205) with a solution that does not work with Debian 10.

Output of dpkg -i openbazaar2_2.2.25_amd64.deb; apt-get install -f

Alright, found a solution. Although, I’m hoping future versions will be able to decipher this mess if possible. Its the same package with a different name, depending on distro and/or version of distro. The solution below, required the .deb to be extracted and modified.

Note: you’ll probably want to create a new directory to use temporarily, since this will produce multiple files in one directory.

ar x openbazaar2_2.2.5_amd64.deb
tar xzf control.tar.gz
sed -i s/libgconf2-4/libgconf-2-4/ control
tar --ignore-failed-read -cvzf control.tar.gz {post,pre}{inst,rm} md5sums control
ar rcs openbazaar2_2.2.5_amd64-FIXED.deb debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz
sudo dpkg -i openbazaar2_2.2.5_amd64-FIXED.deb

wouldn’t it make sense to replace libgconf2-4 dependency with libgconf-2-4 as libgconf2-4 is a ‘dummy package’?
