I use an animation software (Mine-Imator lol) which has a hard dependency on a package going under the name of "LibTiff5". Now I know what that is, the problem is that it wants LibTiff5 specifically. But as of Ubuntu 24.04 (or 23 not sure) LT5 was dropped in favor of LibTiff6, and remains on 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). LT6 of course isn't supported by it because the software hasn't been updated in 2 years at the time of writing. Neither is LT5-dev. My question is, is there a good non-painful way to install the old LT5 on Ubuntu 24.04?

Install libtiff5 package from Ubuntu 22.04 in Ubuntu 24.04. You can install libtiff5 alongside libtiff6.

Open the terminal and type:

cd Desktop/
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tiff/libtiff5_4.3.0-6ubuntu0.10_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./libtiff5_4.3.0-6ubuntu0.10_amd64.deb

To install both libtiff5 and libtiff5-dev in Ubuntu 24.04 run the following commands:

cd Desktop/
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tiff/libtiff5_4.3.0-6ubuntu0.10_amd64.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tiff/libtiffxx5_4.3.0-6ubuntu0.10_amd64.deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tiff/libtiff5-dev_4.3.0-6ubuntu0.10_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./libtiff5_4.3.0-6ubuntu0.10_amd64.deb ./libtiffxx5_4.3.0-6ubuntu0.10_amd64.deb ./libtiff5-dev_4.3.0-6ubuntu0.10_amd64.deb
