Hi,
Can you help me get the above package fixed. Installing Gambas results in a non functioning program. The problem seems to be that the list of files is incomplete.
The command "sudo apt-get -y install gambas3" works but when you try to run the program it results in "gbr3: unable to load component: gb.form.print".
The solution is to run the following command: -
sudo apt-get -y install gambas3 gambas3-gb-form-print gambas3-gb-gtk-opengl gambas3-gb-gtk3 gambas3-gb-gui-opengl gambas3-gb-gui-qt gambas3-gb-gui-qt-webkit gambas3-gb-gui-trayicon gambas3-gb-libxml
gambas3-gb-option gambas3-gb-report gambas3-gb-sdl gambas3-gb-sdl-sound gambas3-gb-v4l gambas3-templates gambas3-gb-qt5 gambas3-gb-qt5-ext gambas3-gb-qt5-opengl gambas3-gb-qt5-webkit
Gambas will now run.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi,
Due to the work for the bug report at [1] this actually works fine in the coming 20.10 release without the massive listing of to-be-installed packages.
Dependencies there are: gambas3 -> gambas3-ide -> gambas3-gb-form-print
With the package in Universe I'm not sure anyone is planning/working on an SRU [2] for it, but the bug I linked should give you the right pointers if you (or anyone else) want to do so.
