Description

Can you help me installed DankCalendar on Fedora?

I use Dank on Fedora Workstation 44. I originally installed Dank 1.4 and since then I've been updating the system with the Fedora tools (either dnf or the Software app from within GNOME, which is also installed).

Today I did the updates and got Dank 1.5 and I want to try the new DankCalendar.

I started from the blog post. I clicked on the docs link for the calendar, and then from that page, the Installation link, which is broken. But I was able to guess the correct URL.

The instructions for Fedora are simple, and I followed them, but dnf reported a dependency conflict between two versions of quickshell:

$ sudo dnf copr enable avengemedia/danklinux

You can try to add to command line:
  --allowerasing to allow removing of installed packages to resolve problems
  --skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages

Your advice is welcome! I am new to Fedora and don't feel confident troubleshooting the package management on my own.

Hi there, thanks for the open issue here. There was a dependency update that came through which has now been patched. You should be good to go now!

You can run:
