After upgrade to Ubuntu 20.10, Boostnote disappeared from the system. On attempting to reinstall the latest .deb package, found that now it has an unmet dependency: gvfs-bin This package has been removed because it's deprecated so it won't be re-added.

I dropped this dependency from boostnote_0.16.1_amd64.deb and it can be installed, and run without any issues.

The modified deb file can be downloaded from this link -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i6ydByXFvEkvLEvwZAuzwYZMQa97ajc8/view?usp=sharing

If you have already attempted to install boostnote, remove it:

sudo apt remove bootsnote

Then, install it without the gvfs-bin dependency:

sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=gvfs-bin -i boostnote_0.16.1_amd64.deb

apt will probably complain about broken dependencies. Resolve by running:

sudo apt install -f

Then, modify the file /var/lib/dpkg/status:

sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/status

Search the file for 'boostnote' and remove 'gvfs-bin' from its list of dependencies.
