This is just typical of ST software development for Linux.

I also cannot install stm32cubeide because it depends on obsolete software such as python2.7 which has been replaced by python3.x and libncurses5 has been replaced by libncurses6. Telling someone to install these old packages  manually is  not a solution. The software needs to be updated to work with the current versions of Linux  - Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Don't tell me I need to install python2.7 which has been obsolete for years.

My OS environment: Linux Mint version 22 (wilma) on x86_64. Here's my attempt to install the latest deb package 1.16 IDE on Linux Mint:

IIRC python 2.7 and libncurses are dependencies of gdb in the ARM cross toolchain. Not of the cubeide itself.

Is the install script trying to install some ancient version of gdb for ARM?

Need to check, haven't looked there for a while. The install script installs dependencies for the cross toolchain so that it works))  Maybe installation of the toolchain can be made optional (along with its dependencies). Then users will have to go to toolchain manager and install a toolchain manually in any way, and sort out dependencies issues. They should be able at least build without debugging.
