After i made my earlier post:
[Direct Connect - #10 by Marvin]
I installed the Qt version of the direct connect client Eiskaltdcpp.
And it loaded when i started it.
Admittedly i did not load my settings, in fact i didn’t visit any DC hubs - i only checked that the programme would load successfully.
Then i reinstalled EOS and now it won’t install.
So i tried the GTK version, same, the install errors.
I tried to upload the log and error files for the failed installs as a tarball ( .tar & .tar.gz ), as orig files (renamed to include the name & vers) with same extensions and then renamed to have a .txt extension. However, the forum file uploader does not “see” the files.
You can’t upload those files.
Just use pastebin service with the text output from the failed installation process.

That package has a number of orphaned dependencies(That isn’t the problem, I would just be cautious).
Have you considered using the appimage?
Thank you @dalto
- that worked like magic!
Or to give it it’s technical term, a solution “:)”
Thank you all, a lovely distro with lovely people on the forum too.
