After upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04, gnome commander no longer works.
gnome-commander: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomeui-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm trying to install gnome commander from source, and it's complaining about
No package 'libgnome-2.0' found
There's no apt package for it, nothing, it went missing. I can't even seem to find the source code for it.
Today I released a new version of Gnome Commander in which I removed the dependency of libgnome, libgnomeui and gnome-keyring-1. You could give it a try. But as far as I heard, gnome-vfs was also dropped in Ubuntu 20.04, so you probably won't be able to build GnomeCommander on that distro as it still depends on that library.
By the way, as discussed above already... if anyone here want's to help creating a snap or a flatpak package, you are more than welcome to jump in. ?
Source code here:
Yeah, they are not included in 20.04 release repository.
Gnome-commander related BR was closed as libgnome deprecation BR duplicate. I could find the moved page here wiki.gnome.org - LibgnomeMustDie .
The upstream project is alive here: gitlab.gnome.org - gnome-commander . It is only dropped at Debian level. Not sure if all GTK3 migration are complete but I saw some late related commits.
It is up to you, try build from upstream repository, build snap package with
core18, (both require some knowledge) or just move on to some alternative if there is any.
