I've been using Docky for almost 10 years. Yesterday I upgraded Ubuntu to 19.04 and to my surprise I realised that during the upgrade Docky got removed. I tried adding Docky PPA again, but got the message that Disco distro is not supported. I tried manually installing Docky from a .tar.gz package, but I keep getting infinite dependency errors, last one being:

configure: error: Package requirements (gconf-sharp-2.0) were not met:

No package 'gconf-sharp-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GCONF_SHARP_20_CFLAGS and GCONF_SHARP_20_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

What on Earth is going on here? How do I install Docky back again?

    Move to cairo-dock or plank? – DK Bose Apr 28 '19 at 10:38
  • @DKBose Thanks for the suggestion. I'd prefer to continue using Docky. – Томица Кораћ Apr 28 '19 at 10:49
  • @DKBose actually it's been quite a long time since I tried Plank. Your comment made me try it again and I see that now Plank has the 'fish eye'/zoom effect on hovering icons. This is what I want so I guess Plank is a fair substitution for Docky. Many thanks for the suggestion! Now if only I could get the weather and separator docklets... – Томица Кораћ Apr 28 '19 at 10:56
  • Thanks for this question and the comments - from how it looks like it seems to me that plank is a fork of docky... – Nicolas Jun 09 '19 at 15:30
