Minecraft Launcher will not install on Linux (Ubuntu 25.10) Due to "libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0)" being renamed.

Minecraft Launcher will not install on Linux (Ubuntu 25.10) Due to "libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0)" being renamed to “libglib2.0-0t64”? (unsure of new name).

Reproduction:

  1. Download Minecraft.deb form minecraft.net - Link: https://launcher.mojang.com/download/Minecraft.deb

  2. Open with Software Install.

OR:

2: Run “sudo apt install ./Minecraft.deb” in the terminal within the directory housing the Minecraft.deb file.

3: Error should resemble:


username@ComputerName:~/Desktop/Minecraft Launcher/2$ sudo apt install ./Minecraft.deb
Note, selecting 'minecraft-launcher' instead of './Minecraft.deb'
Solving dependencies... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Unsatisfied dependencies:
minecraft-launcher : Depends: default-jre but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:

  1. minecraft-launcher:amd64=2.1.3 is selected for install

  2. minecraft-launcher:amd64 Depends libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0)
    but none of the choices are installable:
    [no choices]


Ignore “default-jre”.

Environment

Linux - Ubuntu 25.10 - AMD - 64Bit
