Trying to install sunshine on debian Trixie gives error

[MaxandreOgeret]

Hey, trying to install sunshine like so, gives the following error:

deb-get install sunshine
[!] ERROR! sunshine is not supported on Debian 13.

I run debian Trixie:

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux trixie/sid
Release: n/a
Codename: trixie

• deb-get version : 0.4.4

I see two issues:

• sunshine provides packages for debian 12, which should be compatible with Debian Trixie.
• Debian 13 is not released yet and the error message is confusing.

How to solve that ?
Willing to make a PR if given a direction where to start :)

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like their .debs are forward compatible. At least, not without manual workarounds.
After manually installing their Bookworm package in Debian sid, it gives this error when trying to run it:

sunshine: error while loading shared libraries: libminiupnpc.so.17: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If you symlink libminiupnpc.so.18 to libminiupnpc.so.17, it seems to work, but I'm pretty sure that's beyond the scope of deb-get.

I installed sunshine-debian-bookworm-amd64.deb on Trixie and I had no issues. Currently using it.
Will check where those libs are coming from in my case once Im back at my desktop.

[Edit] Indeed this dep is missing, so I must have created the symlink some time ago. So will build it from source.
But it still leaves the issue that the error message is confusing.
