Is it possible to install the new QGIS version 3.22 on a 32-bit Linux system?

I tried to install it with this procedure (in the Linux terminal):

sudo apt install gnupg software-properties-common

wget -qO - https://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-2021.gpg.key | sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/qgis-archive.gpg --import
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/qgis-archive.gpg

sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://qgis.org/ubuntu $(lsb_release -c -s) main"

sudo apt update

sudo apt install qgis

The result was installation of QGIS 3.18. I know, that on Windows systems QGIS only supports the version QGIS 3.18. But on Linux systems 32-bit?

It is impossible because MX Linux 19-4 is based in Buster Debian. You can see all requirements for QGIS 3.20 here. You have to upgrade to MX Linux 21 version based in Debian "Bullseye". More information in following link:

https://www.debugpoint.com/2021/10/mx-linux-21-release/

For reference, /etc/apt/sources.list in my Debian 11 looks as follows for including last version of QGIS 3.20 in repositories:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free

deb     https://qgis.org/debian bullseye main
deb-src https://qgis.org/debian bullseye main

  • thanks a lot, xunilk! Before your post I had tried to upgrade mxlinux 19.4 to mxlinux 21 (without fresh installation), but I used a wrong sources.list! With your sources.list the upgrade seemed to work. Though it did not come to an end, therefore I had to make a fresh installation. After that the installation of QGIS 3.22 was easy!
