Unable to install on clean Debian

Hello everyone,

untill now, I have always used CQRLOG on my RaspberryPI with ARM64 (installed from tarball) without any issue.
Good job, indeed.
A few days ago I tried to install it on a new machine with Debian, but without success.

1) Linux 6.1.0-37-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.140-1 (2025-05-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux up to date
2) mariadb apparently up and running :

sudo mariadb
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 44
Server version: 10.11.11-MariaDB-0+deb12u1 Debian 12

3) hamlib installed from source :

rigctl --version
rigctl Hamlib 4.7~git 2025-06-24T12:43:37Z SHA=0ddc6b 64-bit

4) but, trying to install :

dpkg -i cqrlog_2.5.2-1_amd64.deb

still gives dependency error :

cqrlog : Dipende: libhamlib2 (>= 1.2.10) ma non è installabile
Dipende: libmariadbclient-dev ma non è installabile
Dipende: libmariadbclient-dev-compat

In any case, libmariadbclient-dev in not available on Bookworm.

Same result trying to install from tarball.

Can someone help ?

Thank-you

Hi Ugo!

Check that you have dependency packets installed:

Dipende: libmariadbclient-dev-compat
Can this be installed?

With Ubuntu 22.04 you need these packages:

sudo apt install libhamlib-utils libhamlib4 libmariadb-dev-compat libatk1.0-0 libcairo2 libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libpango-1.0-0 libx11-6 xplanet mariadb-client mariadb-server mariadb-common trustedqsl libssl-dev libqt5pas1

Try to find corresponding package names for Debian. Should be near by same.

Then you can download the tar file "Complete application directory for other distributions" from cqrlog.com/downloads (actually links to GitHub).
Change to root directory
cd /
and extract downloaded tar (assume it is downloaded to /tmp ) with:
sudo tar -vxf /tmp/cqrlog_2.5.2_amd64.tar.gz --strip-components=1

That should do it.

You can see how I have done install with script by downloading zip from:
https://github.com/OH1KH/CqrlogAlpha/blob/main/compiled/install_Ubuntu22...

There are explaining comments and prints included.
