Hello , I've just installed LMDE and noticed that pinta isn't included which came as quite a surprise. I'm rather fond of pinta, a simple easy to use image
editor that has been able to do most of things I need. Is there any way I can install this safely on LMDE?
I tried checking the main pinta pages but it's completely inacessible to me here in China. Maybe blocked or gimped in some other way.
Is Pinta compatible with LMDE?

Re: Is Pinta compatible with LMDE?
Yes.
I have Pinta installed with my LMDE-Xfce. I like Pinta, it is better than GIMP. IMO
You can easy download and install with Synaptic Package Manager > search for Pinta

Re: Is Pinta compatible with LMDE?
Thanks for the reply, but it's not there on my system. I downloaded the latest released version of LMDE last night. When I search for pinta in software manager or synaptic it's not there. For some reason they offer me wigeon and microbiomeutil. Where has it gone? I half thought maybe it was only compatible with original mint, but if others have it on LMDE it must be my system hiding packages from me?
Re: Is Pinta compatible with LMDE?
Is your LMDE set to 'Debian-Testing' (default)
Possibly, Pinta (or any other App) is not release for stable or testing but only for unstable.
As far as, I know their are no 'hidden' App and/or Packages.
Pinta is in the LMDE Repros. (I checked)
My LMDE is set to Debian-Sid (unstable)

Re: Is Pinta compatible with LMDE?
Thanks that's something I wasn't aware of.
I'm trying to set the system to unstable packages but I seem to be missing something. Ok so I went into software sources under optional components made sure unstable sources (romeo) has a x against it (which it seems to by default) then sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade. Try install sudo apt-get install pinta - but there's nothing there. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Is Pinta compatible with LMDE?
Pinta has been removed from Debian Testing repos on 2013-12-03 hence it's indeed not available in LMDE now. Later it has been added to Debian Testing repos again, so you can get it from there.

Re: Is Pinta compatible with LMDE?
that's terrifrying...squeeze is even older than wheezy. anyway, pinta is now on debian testing you can try to grab it from there.
Re: Is Pinta compatible with LMDE?
Hi
I'm new to LMDE, and pinta is not there, and not sure how to get debian testing.
In the repositories list there is:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com debian main upstream import romeo
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
deb http://extra.linuxmint.com debian main
Well it says testing... but no pinta
# apt-cache search pinta
microbiomeutil - Microbiome Analysis Utilities
wigeon - reimplementation of the Pintail 16S DNA anomaly detection utility

+1 => I have the same issue
Pinta was in LMDE. My SSD crashed and today Pinta is not in the depot anymore.
How to install Pinta ?
Thank you in advance
