      One of my favourite card games is no longer available in AntiX-19 (i386) — gnome-hearts.
      It does not show up in the list of available packages. (It is available in antiX-17).

      Has anyone had any success porting gnome-hearts to antiX-19 (x86)?

        porting? no, because Debian10 dropped many of the packages gnome-hearts depends on.

        The following (tested) enabled me to install & run gnome-hearts in antiX 19:

        Temporarily add a line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
        deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free

        sudo apt update
        sudo install gnome-hearts

        then remove that “stretch” line from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
        and again perform apt update

        Launch gnome-hearts from a terminal prompt and keep a lookout for any errors (not “GTK warnings”).
        FWIW, during my brief test I did not notice any errors.

          skidoo — Many thanks showing me your trick to get gnome-hearts installed on antiX-19. I would have never thought of trying to temporarily use the stretch repos.
          I will definitely give it a shot.

            It worked for me. I don’t know what Anti-x I have. uname -r reports “5.10.142-antix.2-amd64-smp”
            Had to “Fix broken packages” in synaptic a couple of times before it worked. I unchecked the stretch line in synaptic when I was finished.
