Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When trying to install, a dependency error is thrown.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hoppscotch : Depends: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The package libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 is already installed!

Steps to reproduce

Try to install the package using sudo dpkg -i Hoppscotch_linux_x64.deb
Check the error
Try to install the package using sudo apt install ./Hoppscotch_linux_x64.deb
Same Error
Try to bypass package installation sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 ./Hoppscotch_linux_x64.deb
5.1 The package is installed but does not start.

@Jooraz commented on GitHub (Aug 5, 2024):

This is caused by dependencies coming from tauri about which you can read in here: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/9662. TLDR is basically that, the references in hoppscotch-desktop would have to be updated to v2 of tauri (right now rc.1 is available, which is suboptimal). Also after performing the migration, more code changes in packages/hoppscotch-selfhost-desktop/src/platform/auth.ts would have to be made, as @tauri-apps/plugin-http (from v2) is not having both Body and getClientfrom in it, unlike previously was in @tauri-apps/api/http. Not sure if they will be providing this in the future or Auth will need to be redesigned in the end.

However for a now as a workaround, what you can find in the 9662 issue is a link to clash-verge-rev dependencies.
Alternatively you can get them from launchpad:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/amd64/libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37/2.43.3-1
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/amd64/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18/2.43.3-1
It's downloadable from there however both of the packages are in deleted status

Once I've installed them both on fresh Ubuntu 24.04, hoppscotch desktop started completely fine
