Issue installing .deb on Debian 13

Support in English

First, the download page does not display a release for Debian 13.

Trying the Debian 12 release results in the following from apt:

Note, selecting 'jami-all' instead of './Downloads/jami-all_amd64.deb'
Solving dependencies... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Unsatisfied dependencies:
 jami-all : Depends: libicu72 (>= 72.1~rc-1~) but it is not installable
            Depends: libjsoncpp25 (>= 1.9.5) but it is not installable
            Depends: libvpx7 (>= 1.12.0) but it is not installable
            Depends: libyaml-cpp0.7 (>= 0.7.0) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context:
   Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
   1. jami-all:amd64=20250912.1~dfsg1-1 is selected for install
   2. jami-all:amd64 Depends libicu72 (>= 72.1~rc-1~)
      but none of the choices are installable:
      [no choices]

Using the Debian 13 package from Debian — Jami documentation which still lists Debian 13 as “testing” results in the same outcome however a separate dependency issue.

Is there anything I can do about this?

No, not until jami for debian 13 trixie (stable) is packaged.

At the moment there are builds for:

debian 14 forky (testing and unstable)

debian 12 bookworm (oldstable)

debian 11 bullseye (oldoldstable)

Hopefully it will be packaged for debian 13 soon and debian 11 will be removed.

I’d comment there too, but registration seems to be broken on git jami net.

However there is another possibility if you like flatpak:

I prefer dpkg/apt over flatpak. :wink:

Thank you for providing detailed responses.

Thank you for your comment. Your information was helpful in updating the following Debian setup page. Please advise if further improvements are required.

Added a link to here from the GitLab issue.

Thank you for including a workaround while the DEB installation file for Debian 13 is not yet available.
