Trouble installing MC27 - libc6 dependency issue

(1/1)

dhdezzo:
I want to upgrade MC on my HTPC (Windows version) and I was planning to buy a full license for MC28 and install it on my Linux desktop computer as well (running Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon). When following the instructions to install MC27 in Linux, I get the following error. I was able to download and install MC26 without issue. I'm not a Linux expert, so hopefully there is a simple fix for this. I read that installing a newer version of libc6 could cause issues. Please help. Thanks.

$ sudo apt-get install mediacenter27

Awesome Donkey:
You need to update Linux Mint 19.3 to Linux Mint 20.1 for it to work, the versions of dependencies MC27 needs are too old in Linux Mint 19.3.

dhdezzo:
Ok, thanks. That makes sense.

If I buy the master license for MC28 to upgrade my Windows HTPC, can I also use that license for MC26 on my Linux computer? I’m not ready to upgrade Linux.

Awesome Donkey:
Nope, it won't work for MC26.
