Well, that was a red faced forehead slapper.

Thanks for the solution. All is now well.

It's important to use "apt" instead of "dpkg" to install ChimeraX.  "apt" is needed to install the dependencies.

The problem with:

     sudo apt install ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb

is that there is no / in the name, so "apt" thinks it is a package name instead of a file name.  Change it to:

    sudo apt install ./ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb

Or if it is in your Downloads directory, use the example on the ChimeraX download page:

    sudo apt install ~/Downloads/ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb

HTH,

I think you would need to issue the following command:

sudo dpkg -i ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb

I am running an up-to-date installation of Debian Bullseye on my Linux

My attempt to install ucsf-chimerax_1.5ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb generated
an interesting error message:

I have managed to install Chimera, both Linux and Windows versions, many
times without any problems.

Guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
