Linux Mint 22.1 uses Ubuntu 24.04 packages. The CQRLOG PPA does not support Ubuntu 22.04/Noble. I am using MariaDB for local web site development with Wordpress and for phpmyadmin. Who knows what else I might use it for. If I try to install or need to reinstall CQRLOG, I cannot without my MariaDB being uninstalled.
How can I install CQRLOG to avoid this problem?
And I wish the Ubuntu package would check for a valid DB, either MariaDB or Mysql, before installing one or the other.

Here is one way:
Navgate to Downloads of this page and select:
Complete application directory for other distributions:
cqrlog_2.5.2_amd64.tar.gz
Download the tar.gz file. Let's say you downloaded it to folder /tmp
Then extract the file in command terminal wit two commands:
cd /
sudo tar -vxf /tmp/cqrlog_2.5.2_amd64.tar.gz --strip-components=1
Now you have Cqrlog installed. It might be that you do not find Cqrlog icon from desktop or startup menu (depends on your linux system) but if you open command terminal and type:
cqrlog
it should start.
You need to install all dependencies by your self. Means:
" Please don't forget to install MariaDB server, MariaDB client, Hamlib libraries and if LoTW support is desired, trustedqsl package and libssl-devel must be installed."
After you see it works you can update to CqrlogAlpha by downloading https://github.com/OH1KH/CqrlogAlpha/blob/main/compiled/newupdate.zip
Extraction the zip and starting newupdate.sh at command terminal.
It will do the rest of the job.
