Difficulty installing LabRecorder on Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) from prebuilt .deb package

[jseyelink]

The LabRecorder installation instructions state that:

The Ubuntu releases do not typically ship with their dependencies, so you must download and install those

This was done by downloading liblsl-1.17.5-jammy_amd64.deb and running,

sudo apt-get -y install ./liblsl-1.17.5-jammy_amd64.deb

which creates a conflict when attempting to install LabRecorder,

$ sudo apt-get -y install ./LabRecorder-1.17.0-jammy_amd64.deb 
⋮
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  labrecorder
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
⋮
Unpacking labrecorder (1.17.0) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /home/display/Builds/LabRecorder/LabRecorder-1.17.0-jammy_amd64-broken.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/liblsl.so.1.17.5', which is also in package liblsl 1.17.5

The installation fails when the labrecorder package tries to create the /usr/lib/liblsl.so* files, which have already been installed by the liblsl package.

It is possible to recover the situation by re-building the labrecorder package without the liblsl.so files.

$ dpkg-deb -R LabRecorder-1.17.0-jammy_amd64.deb tmp
$ rm tmp/usr/lib/liblsl.so*
$ dpkg-deb -b tmp LabRecorder-1.17.0-jammy_amd64-fixed.deb

Now labrecorder will be installed,

$ sudo apt-get -y install ./LabRecorder-1.17.0-jammy_amd64-fixed.deb 
⋮
Unpacking labrecorder (1.17.0) ...
Setting up labrecorder (1.17.0) ...
$ which LabRecorder
/usr/bin/LabRecorder

The installation instructions then go on to say that,

• For most cases, this will amount to installing Qt and its dependencies:
  • Ubuntu >= 22.04: sudo apt-get install qt6-base-dev freeglut3-dev

These packages were installed using the given command. But LabRecorder will abort execution when it finds that the Qt libraries are obsolete,

$ LabRecorder
LabRecorder: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt6Core.so.6: version `Qt_6.8' not found (required by LabRecorder)

Presuming that this refers to the ABI version, we can see that,

$ ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt6Core.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May  2  2022 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt6Core.so.6 -> libQt6Core.so.6.2.4

version Qt 6.2 is installed by the qt6-base-dev package on Ubuntu 22.04. Note that LabRecorder v1.16 runs properly on this version of Qt.
