Debian 13 (Trixie) installation fails due to outdated dependency libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 #47

Description

@Amir-A664

Hi. First of all, thank you for the great work on WhiteDNS. I really appreciate the project and wanted to report a small packaging issue I encountered while installing it on Debian 13.

Environment

  • OS: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (Trixie)
  • Architecture: amd64
  • Package: WhiteDNS-1.0.0-beta3-linux-amd64.deb

Problem

Installing the package fails because it depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37, which is no longer available in Debian 13 repositories.

Installation output:

dpkg -i WhiteDNS-1.0.0-beta3-linux-amd64.deb

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of whitedns-desktop:
 whitedns-desktop depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37; however:
  Package libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not installed.

Package metadata:

dpkg-deb -f WhiteDNS-1.0.0-beta3-linux-amd64.deb Depends

ca-certificates, libgtk-3-0, libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

On Debian 13, the available package is:

libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0

while libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not present in the repositories.

Workaround

I extracted the package, replaced:

libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

with:

libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0

in DEBIAN/control, rebuilt the package, and installation completed successfully.

Suggested Fix

Please update the package dependency for newer Debian releases (Debian 13/Trixie and compatible distributions), or provide a package built against libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0.
