This is a bug in appimage-builder. As you can see from the fact that it's
installed in /usr/local, it's not supplied by Ubuntu.
The bug is that it's apparently trying to use the Python packaging.version
library to parse and compare the version numbers of Ubuntu packages. Ubuntu
package versions are not compatible with Python package versions, and it is
incorrect to use Python's packaging.version library to do this job.
It looks like this bug was fixed in
https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder/pull/281, although it
doesn't seem that there's been a release since that fix landed. I don't know
how best to advise you to apply that fix to your system, but presumably you
installed this program yourself and so have some idea of how best to upgrade it.

Bug#1027473: fwbuilder: Link to Quick Start Guide does not work, no alternatives found
Package: fwbuilder Version: 5.3.7-4.1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream When starting fwbuilder after installing fwbuilder, fwbuilder-common, fwbuilder-doc (each of them is version 5.3.7-4.1), I am offered the option to watch the Quick Start Guide by clicking on the "Watch the guide" in bottom right corner of the pop up dialog. This action gets the browser to open the link: http://www.fwbuilder.org/4.0/quick_start_guide_1.html However, as of today, the domain www.fwbuilder.org cannot be resolved. 1. fwbuilder.org is registered in the whois database. 2. The quick start guide does not seem to be available from fwbuilder-doc. At any case, in /usr/share/doc/fwbuilder-doc, there is no file whose name may hint at its being the quick start guide. 3. I looked for the file in Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.fwbuilder.org/4.0/quick_start_guide_1.html* and even there, I did not find the quick start guide. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-0.deb11.2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fwbuilder depends on: ii fwbuilder-common 5.3.7-4.1 ii libc62.31-13+deb11u5 ii libgcc-s110.2.1-6 ii libqt5core5a 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5gui5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5network5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5printsupport5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5widgets5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libsnmp405.9+dfsg-4+deb11u1 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libxml2 2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u3 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.34-4+deb11u1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2+deb11u2 Versions of packages fwbuilder recommends: ii fwbuilder-doc 5.3.7-4.1 ii rcs5.10.0-1 fwbuilder suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
