Hello! I am having trouble installing the latest version of Siril on Debian and was wondering if someone here might be able to help. The version included via apt is 0.9.5 and is missing scripts and other features I would like to use. I have downloaded the linked deb packages from the siril installation page, and have attempted to install them with dpkg:
# sudo dpkg -i siril-common_0.9.12-1_all.deb
(Reading database ... 64195 files and directories currently installed.)

Is there a quick way to grab all of those dependencies?
Am I approaching this from the right direction?
Thanks for your reply. After running sudo apt install -f and attempting to install the deb package I am still stuck with the same missing dependencies.
The install seems to crash with no errors:
sudo dpkg -i siril-common_0.9.12-1_all.deb
(Reading database … 64154 files and directories currently installed.)

Furthermore, I am now unable to install the included version of siril. I get this response:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

I’ve made sure the siril package has been removed with apt, I also removed the siril-common package with dpkg. I run apt install -f, but I still have the same response when I attempt to install siril via sudo apt-get install siril.
And if I try the deb package, the install seems to crash:
sudo dpkg -i siril-common_0.9.12-1_all.deb
Selecting previously unselected package siril-common.

Progress: I found that I had added ppa:lock042/siril and that was messing with my standard siril install. So I removed that and I can now install the stock debian siril again.
I am still unsure how to install the latest version though. From this point, I have a working siril 0.9.5. What is the right way to upgrade it to 0.9.12?
Thanks for the updates! I am happy with Flatpak for now but I wanted to share my os info for reference:

In case you feel especially adventurous, you could also try setting up a chroot-environment.
Debian makes this quite easy, the first few steps (see link for the rest) are
which will prepare a new directory in /srv/chroot/sid, which you then can chroot into (ideally using schroot). There you can then use good old apt to install all the newest software, without breaking your “main” system.
you can more simply compile siril on debian stable, that’s what I do. It’s described here: Siril:install - FreeAstro see at the end of the section the For debian 10 and siril 1.0.
