Ubuntu 14.04 ships GTK3 version 3.10. darktable requires at least 3.14. Current GTK3 is 3.22. So the reason darktable isn't available for that system is the lack of dependencies. That being said, isn't the whole point of running a stable OS release to not have changing program versions? You chose to stick with a more than 2 year old Ubuntu release because you wanted to have one fixed set of tools. Why do you expect updated versions for some of them? You can't have your cake and eat it. > Cheers, > Jozef Dassen Tobias
