    thread caused non-unwinding panic. aborting.


    All dependencies are properly installed, I'm suspecting some mismatch on unstable right now. The package is still lacking a man page as well.

    Followup-For: Bug #1103551

    Note:

    Likely a false positive as I expected shortwave to be runnable
    standalone. Didn't even know what a Circle app is exactly, so I assume
    now it depends on a complete GNOME environment? If so, I should be
    surprised if this is the right way way to put it in Debian. That's what
    we have dependencies for, and why users rely on it, a simple hint in the package description is no great help. The package should not be
    installable as is, but apparently all of the Circle apps are. Either
    way, if I was doing it wrong please close.

    No, this is a valid bug. I encourage you to report bugs like this when
    you see them. Could you try installing gstreamer1.0-plugins-good and
    see if it fixes your issue?

    A manpage would not help at all here. shortwave does not have any
    command-line options so there really isn't anything to document in a
    manpage. It could provide user help like several other GNOME apps do
    that would be viewable with GNOME's help browser app, yelp.

    Thank you,
    Jeremy Bícha

    Package: shortwave
    Followup-For: Bug #1103551

    Thanks! While the original issue was quickly fixed, I got stuck a few
    more times and it turned out this time indeed due to missing
    dependencies. Just for completeness and on the off chance it may be of
    help to someone, here's how I got it working. For one thing, shortwave
    requires PulseAudio, for those who don't yet have it that's the obvious
    route.

    If PA isn't wanted, wrapping it in apulse also works. But then in
    addition one wants

    gstreamer1.0-alsa
    apulse

    In any case, for AAC-encoded streams

    gstreamer1.0-fdkaac
    libfdk-aac2

    is required as well. That about did it, highly requested app.

    Neither of those 2 suggested packages are required for Debian GNOME
    which uses pipewire (specifically it installs the pipewire-audio
    package). I don't know exactly what other desktops are using in
    Debian. I'm going to leave the task of having working sound to the
    desktop environments. If you're not using a major desktop, you may be
    on your own here.

    In any case, for AAC-encoded streams

    gstreamer1.0-fdkaac
    libfdk-aac2

    Those are not in Debian main so it's not possible for shortwave to
    have a Depends or Recommends relationship to them.

    Thank you for confirming that you got shortwave working now.

    The mention of GNOME Circle in the package description is to help
    people easily find apps which are part of the program. GNOME Circle
    apps are verified to be high quality apps that work well with GNOME.
