The debugger plugin is not available as pre-compiled debian image since years. Maybe related to this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912320 This seems to me a easy-to-solve bug? Would be great if debugger would return in package index. Best regards

Sounds like an packaging issue for me -- isn't it?

Yep, and even an old report at that: current Debian doesn't have *gdb-python2* anymore. I guess the reason why the debugger plugin is not in current Debian stable is rather that they have a GTK3 Geany but their version of the plugins don't have a GTK3 support in the debugger plugin.

I thought "geany-plugins team" is also responsible for debian package. But it's "pkg-geany-team". Sorry. Anyway, seems like only solution is self-compile? Or is somebody in contact with package maintainers?

Just wait :). Geany-Plugins 1.37 will be released tommorrow and then the Debugger plugin can be used with GTK3 again and so the Debian packagers most probably will include it again for the release.

Yes the only solution is to self-compile for the moment. Debian won't likely propose a newer version of the plugin in their stable distribution, so nothing on our part will really help. And the debugger plugin is already available in the testing distribution, which has a new enough version that it supports GTK3.

We could ask @hyperair whether he'd be willing to provide backports, but that's extra work on his shoulders so maybe he'd agree, maybe he wouldn't.

I use Debian 'Buster' testing, there is no geany-plugin-debugger package available. Also not in unstable distribution. Search result from https://packages.debian.org: ![grafik](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/52318651/97078653-d92d7700-15ed-11...) Do I miss something?

Yeah, IIRC correctly debugger didn't get turned back on for 1.36 even though it was GTK3 compatible then, don't know why.

Hum indeed I don't see it in the repo, yet I though I did earlier… oops. Anyway, they have a version that would have worked, so I don't know why it hasn't been enabled again, maybe just got forgotten? @hyperair maybe you could re-enable the debugger plugin in Debian, or tell us if there's something that prevent it that we could fix.
