I downloaded the *.deb packages above from older Ubuntu repositories and tried installing them with dpkg, but there were numerous dependencies that could not be satisfied. Most fo the incompatibilities appear to stem from the requirement of older versions of Python.
Will there be any effort to remedy these incompatibilities?
This is happening to me too. I'm not too sure what the installer script doesn't like about the version of 'gtk2-engines- pixbuf' here: pixbuf/ focal,now 2.24.32-4ubuntu4 amd64 [installed]
sudo apt list -i gtk2-engines-pixbuf
Listing... Done
gtk2-engines-
Regarding the other errors about the missing 'python-*' dependencies, well, these are missing indeed on Focal Fossa. Quick check via https:/ /packages. ubuntu. com shows such packages were last used on Eoan Ermine (Ubuntu 19.10). What we have on 20.04 are 'python3-pyqt5', 'python3- dbus.mainloop. pyqt5', 'python3-reportlab' and 'python3-notify2'.
