Referenced package cannot be installed (python-pip)

[barrct]

Trying to install this package in the install dep file causes the install to fail and not install all of the required dependances.

python3-pip works fine, no issues there.

This dependencies are only required when you want to build the library yourself. If you want to do this yourself I would advise you to build this inside a container. Those dependencies are for ubuntu:16.04 so this will probably not work for Debian.

Wow.
Okay.
So, just to begin with.... This is STILL a depreciated package in Ubuntu, and I even spun up an Ubuntu workstation to verify 100% for you.

This still means that this is a valid issue with the code that is in the repository.

Secondly, per your instructions on dlemstra/Magick.NET#380 (comment) I need to "clone this repository: https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.Native. There are no instruction on how to build it with ARM support but you could probably follow the build steps on Linux."
So I did as you directed.
Step 1 is to run "build/linux/install.dependencies.sh"
Step 1 fails because of the packages listed to be installed are invalid.

Since I saw the issue was with an old package that was already updated in the apt install script to python3-pip, I though that I should report the error that breaks the process and causes the build to fail.

Thanks for telling me that I'm stupid though and closing the issue without even looking at anything.

All I'm trying to do is to compile your work on a great tool for an ARM processor like so many others that have Apples and Raspis.
I'm trying to make sure that I can compile the code at all first before I try to make things non-standard and try to compile for an ARM by either compiling it ON the Raspberry Pi or cross compiling on my main workstation.
I thought I was helping by nothing the error, but I guess the code is your baby and you don't want feedback so for that, I am sorry.

I have read my response multiple times now but I don't see me calling you stupid and this is also something that I would never do. I did not close your issue but I changed it into a discussion because that feels like a better place to have this discussion.

As I said in my response I am building this library on Linux with version 16.04 of Ubuntu inside a container. On that version the python and python-pip packages are not yet deprecated. Once that version is no longer supported I will probably switch to 18.04 and that also seems to support python-pip. I does seem that I will need to take a look at that install script once we reach April 2028 and I will need to switch to version 20.04 where the package is deprecated.
