opencarp : Depends: libgfortran4 (>= 7) but it is not installable

Question

Hi everyone! I'm trying to install openCARP v8.2 following the instructions from the page https://opencarp.org/download/installation#linux, but unfortunately I'm encountering the error show below.

medspuser@medspuser-virtual-machine:~/openCARP$ sudo apt-get install ./opencarp-v8.2.deb
[sudo] password for medspuser:
Reading package lists... Done

Note, selecting 'opencarp' instead of './opencarp-v8.2.deb'
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:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 opencarp : Depends: libgfortran4 (>= 7) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I'm working on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, while the python version is the 3.10.4.

Can someone already encountered this error or have some suggestion on this point?

I found this solution but I'm not using Docker:

Thanks a lot in advance!

Dear Andrea,

Unfortunately, the openCARP deb packages will only be compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 from next release on.

I regenerated a .deb package compatible with Ubuntu 22.04: openCARP v8.2 (compatible with Ubuntu 22.04)) deb package 

Let me know if this works.

Cheers,

Marie
