Hello guys,
I’m having a problem on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.1 LTS.
Brackets VS uGet
Once I installed the brackets(code editor), uGet(Download manager) disappearing/uninstalling automatically, Once I installed the uGet then brackets uninstalling or disappearing automatically.
What could be the reason for this? Has anyone had this kind of problem before?
Probably dependencies conflicts. AFAIK, Brackets is not in the Ubuntu repos, so how did you install it exactly? deb package (if so, where did you grab it)? PPA (in which case, which one)? Snap? Other?
Same question for uGet if you’re not using the version from the repos.
I downloaded the brackets deb package from http://brackets.io/ and installed uGet using the Software Boutique. Just notice this https://prnt.sc/l5o3yu when installing brackets, it displays details about removing uGet & libcurl4. I guess I probably have to use the brackets snap package.
Yeah, it looks like the deb package has a dependency on libcurl v3, so it’ll remove anything that has one on v4. You can either use the Snap package (though you’ll have the usual issues that come with snaps) or you can try the dedicated PPA from WebUpd8.
(They also have a PPA for Atom, just in case you use it too.)
EDIT: BTW, if you decide to drop uGet, I’d recommend not using the deb for Brackets, as a lot of other softwares have dependencies on libcurl4.
Yes, Brackets deb package was the problem. I installed using the Snap package.
Thank you for the explanation and for the recommendations.
