bob:
I wonder if I could relax the library requirements in the deb a bit?
Specifiers past the minor version of a library probably aren't significant.
If the distro libraries have different minor versions though I would expect there to be issues.

if there aren't tradeoffs that would increase the # of distros capable of running MC (not just in the RPM world but older *buntu too). At some point I will translate instead of hardcoding the RPM dependencies so future library requirement changes on your end can propagate automatically.
Hendrik:
Our requirements aren't overly specific for everything - for example gtk3 3.24 seems like a reasonable version, but it was one of those causing issues with CentOS 8.x, so while overly specific requirements might not be required, it also likely wouldn't help that much. If a distro is behind, it'll be a full version behind in most cases.

do not work on kde neon.
$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="KDE neon"
VERSION="5.23"
ID=neon
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"
dirty hack:
ID="ubuntu"
debug "Platform: $ID $VERSION_ID"

Gotcha, I'll check it out. I've got a fairly big change coming that will 1) inherit dependency versions from the .deb file, 2) allow services to be installed as true user services (so they can be manipulated with systemctl --user without root) using new --service-type user, and 3) extend --compat mode to debian installations too (so older distros can try running MC with outdated libraries). It just needs a bit more polishing. I'll add Neon support before the next release too.
