broken Audacity 2.4.1 package

[Member Curious_from_country]

Greetings from Latvia!

Attention to broken Audacity 2.4.1 package.
Practically – there are no entry ‘Silence finder’ in menu “Analyze”.
Further – everything is missing that uses ‘Nyquist’ library.

Audacity team acknowledges problem.
(bad Nyquist library used when compiling … )

Every other [version of] Audacity within reach works good (for me):
[2.1.2; 2.2.2; 2.3.3; 2.4.2 …]

Problem is not recent; but I thought that some other will find it out. Sorry.

I do not understand how to install other version of Audacity that
differs from one in repository … .

If it is not possible to correct repository (seems to be — MX repository)
may be there are some method how to get working version of Audacity??

=====

After long time spent seeking other Linux I am back with AntiX … .

Best regards …

Does the version in MX test repo (audacity_2.4.2~dfsg0-3) work ok? If so I can add that to our repo.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Curious_from_country , you can download the MX-test-repo-version from here
http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/pool/test/a/audacity/

You have to deinstall your old version before doing so.
Download
audacity_2.4.2~dfsg0-3~mx19+1_amd64.deb
and
audacity-data_2.4.2~dfsg0-3~mx19+1_all.deb

and install the audacity-data first and then audacity
with gdebi or apt

I did and it installed fine, also the ‘Silence finder’ in menu “Analyze” is there, but I don’t know audacity good enough to say that it works absolutely problem-free.So it’s your turn.
