Question / Help Possible version clash between OBS 23.0 & Ubuntu 19.04

[WonkoTheSaneUK]

I can't install OBS 23.0 because I'm testing Ubuntu 19.04, which is due for release late April.

OBS seems to require the following libraries:-

• libmbedtls10 at version 2.7 or better
• libmbedcrypto1 at version 2.8 or better

but I have:-

• libmbedtls12 at version 2.16.0
• libmbedcrypto3 at version 2.16.0

ie. the package names have changed, not just the version numbers.

(No log file included because this is an installation problem)

So all of these packages are maintained by Ubuntu, and so I assume they need to update their OBS package to use their new embedtls packages. Unless the API of these libraries have changed in the meantime which would require some fixes in OBS (which I don't know). Since they have replaced the old ones with the new ones the API is probably not new.

Since it is an unstable version of Ubuntu I'm not surprised these things happen. I suggest using an official release version of Ubuntu. But you can of course still try to build OBS from source yourself..

I also asked this question on Reddit, and was assured that the OBS PPA* (which is maintained by OBS) will be updated to use the newer libraries once Ubuntu 19.04 goes live late April.

EDIT: A quick look at the PPA shows that OBS v23.0.1 was successfully uploaded for all versions of Ubuntu (including 19.04) yesterday.

*PPA - Personal Package Archive (a repository maintained by a program's developers rather than Ubuntu themselves)

Ok, I didn't know it was the PPA version. Since debian has its own obs-studio package I assumed Ubuntu would pick it up too.

Apparently not. The PPA is where the install instructions send you.
