Hi.. I was able to find it in Buster while lurking along just now: pool/main/l/love/love_11.1-2_amd64.deb Dpkg suggested dpkg-deb.

"apt-file list" was able to show what "love" offers even though love is nowhere near my own setup. Apt-file worked great when called upon from any ol' directory, too.

Love 2d and debian 10
Hi I am trying to run Love2d which is a 2d game engine. This worked fine on Debian 9 but seems to crash on debian 10. I don't think this is a hardware issue as this happens on both my desktop and netbook (I have included desktop output of lshw -c video in my blog post) http://zleap.net/love-2d-debian-10-issues/ Has anyone else had similar issues or can someone perhaps test this and see if there is a problem please. Thanks Paul -- Paul Sutton http://www.zleap.net https://www.linkedin.com/in/zleap/ gnupg : 7D6D B682 F351 8D08 1893 1E16 F086 5537 D066 302D
