I had to keep the subject short. My current version of Ubuntu 22.04 has "issues". I have upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 and then to 22.04. I bought a new hard drive and loaded 24.04 on it. I have been using Mariadb for CQRLog as well as for my Wordpress blog which I host on the same computer. I moved my database files over and installed Mariadb. When I went to install CQRLog from the Ubuntu repository, the installation removed my Mariadb and installed Mysql. How can I install CQRLog without the installation doing this? I also noted that with the Mysql installation a great many related files got installed which I would like to avoid. I did see the topic posted by ON7LG but was trying to avoid this other stuff.

HI Bill!
Cqrlog does not really need to be installed from a package. There are just few things to install as dependencies. The Cqrlog itself is file /usr/bin/cqrlog
You need that, and folder /usr/share/cqrlog with some files.
Updating Cqrlog is just updating /usr/bin/cqrlog and maybe also related help files in /usr/share/cqrlog/help
As dependencies you need Hamlib, MariaDB (server,client,common). ssl libraries devel part and maybe Tqsl for LoTW access.
At the bottom of page https://www.cqrlog.com/download you find file cqrlog_2.5.2_amd64.tar.gz
Download that file to /tmp, open command terminal and give:
cd /
sudo tar -xvf /tmp/cqrlog_2.5.2_amd64.tar.gz --strip-components=1
You have Cqrlog installed!
Now depending does your computer fill needed dependencies Cqlog starts from command terminal typing:
cqrlog
You need also to set your startup icons by your self.
