When I upgraded from 7 to 8, it made me uninstall Xiphos, my Bible app.
Now, I can't even install it.

I borrowed libbiblesync from Debian Stretch when I installed Xiphos. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=biblesync&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
I don't know enough about the various licenses to know if libbiblesync's licensing is a freedom concern. Its 2014 license is "public-domain", and it has a 2015 license by someone at Ubuntu that's a "BSD-3-Clause" license. The license terms are:

Xiphos is amazing software by the way. I really like having access to so many versions of the Bible and so many study guides and commentaries.
I searched for "libbiblesync" at packages.debian.org
It is only available in stable (stretch) and unstable (sid) branches. Obviously it is (being) deprecated.
From the Xiphos project git page on March 27th -
"Update dependencies (#871) - Sword 1.8+ is now required
Fedora 26 will not ship 1.8
None of the Debian or Ubuntu-based distros currently ship Sword 1.8, either"
Looks like the whole project is at a crossroads on Linux. Wonder what is happening with Sword to make this a problem?

Cool! What kind of voodoo do I have to do to get the library?

cd /opt/
sudo wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/biblesync/libbiblesync1.1_1.1.2-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libbiblesync1.1_1.1.2-1_amd64.deb
That's how I did it.
