[James8078 5]

hi,

 

I try to install linux app on my debian laptop.

it does not work, here what I do on my terminal: Also, I tried with ''apt install'', and now whatever I want to install or uninstall, I get that:

update-desktop-database can not be found means that this command is not available, probably this should resolve your issue with that error:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y desktop-file-utils

You can find more info about that (and other packages) here: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/desktop-file-utils
