How to install latest version of Strawberry on Ubuntu 24.10

[Lucidae]

At the present moment, those wanting to upgrade to the latest version of Strawberry (1.1.3) with their package manager will find it is not compatible with the newly-released Ubuntu 24.10 "Oracular Oriole" due to some qt6 dependency issues. However I discovered a simple work-around. The current Debian version only requires a single dependency to make it work, though it will have to be downloaded and installed manually.

Step 1)
Grab the package libicu72 and install it locally with apt;
https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/libicu72
Architecture: amd64

Step 2)
Grab the Debian deb binary and install it locally with apt;

Debian 12 "Bookworm" (x86_64)

Where did you get your package? From the Strawberry PPA? From the site?
https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases/download/1.1.3/strawberry_1.1.3-oracular_amd64.deb

If that's what you are talking about, then it is a bug as it should install cleanly. If not, that's probably what you should be using.

Whoops, you're right. I hadn't noticed there was already a binary for 24.10 on the github release page. Next time I'll look there instead of relying on the website's links. Thanks for pointing that out.
