Rounan 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2018 Hi there, I have a HTPC running on Debian Stretch - current stable version. The installer script, which I ran per the packagecloud instructions finished correctly: curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/Flirc/repo/script.deb.sh | sudo bash ....................................... user@system:~/flirc# curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/Flirc/repo/script.deb.sh | sudo bash Detected operating system as debian/stretch. Checking for curl... Detected curl... Checking for gpg... Detected gpg... Running apt-get update... done. Installing debian-archive-keyring which is needed for installing apt-transport-https on many Debian systems. Installing apt-transport-https... done. Installing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Flirc_repo.list...done. Importing packagecloud gpg key... done. Running apt-get update... done. The repository is setup! You can now install packages. .................................................. But that's not true. Because apt-get update returns this at the end: Ign:9 https://packagecloud.io/Flirc/repo/debian stretch InRelease Err:11 https://packagecloud.io/Flirc/repo/debian stretch Release 404 Not Found Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'https://packagecloud.io/Flirc/repo/debian stretch Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. And apt install flirc returns: E: Unable to locate package flirc Looking at the packagecloud repo in a browser, I can only see Ubuntu packages and none of the .debs will install with dpkg. Is bare Debian actually supported by FLIRC? How can I install? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yawor 83 Report post Posted January 15, 2018 It seems there's some misconfiguration of the repo. I think you can safely replace the repos manually to use ubuntu/trusty instead of debian/stretch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rounan 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 I can confirm that with the following line in sources.list: deb https://packagecloud.io/Flirc/repo/ubuntu/ trusty main Apt correctly brings this in and offers to install flirc and one dependency, libqt5xmlpatterns5. This looks like it works. I have not installed and verified, as I've been burned by apt tantrums and broken packages before when using PPA or other not-quite-debian repos. Don't intend to go down this road myself, but it looks promising if anyone else has this problem and can't work around. Me, I've configured Flirc on my windows box instead, and once plugged into the debian HTPC it's all peachy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Hi, I am running Debian testing (Debian Buster) and cannot install Flirc. As Rounan, I have successfully run this command: curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/Flirc/repo/script.deb.sh | sudo bash However when i run sudo apt-get update I get the following error: Err:16 https://packagecloud.io/Flirc/repo/debian buster Release 404 Not Found [IP: 50.97.198.58 443] Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'https://packagecloud.io/Flirc/repo/debian buster Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. Details from the apt-secure man page: REPOSITORY CONFIGURATION If you want to provide archive signatures in an archive under your maintenance you have to: · Create a toplevel Release file, if it does not exist already. You can do this by running apt-ftparchive release (provided in apt-utils). · Sign it. You can do this by running gpg --clearsign -o InRelease Release and gpg -abs -o Release.gpg Release. · Publish the key fingerprint, so that your users will know what key they need to import in order to authenticate the files in the archive. It is best to ship your key in its own keyring package like Debian does with debian-archive-keyring to be able to distribute updates and key transitions automatically later. · Provide instructions on how to add your archive and key. If your users can't acquire your key securely the chain of trust described above is broken. How you can help users add your key depends on your archive and target audience ranging from having your keyring package included in another archive users already have configured (like the default repositories of their distribution) to leveraging the web of trust. Whenever the contents of the archive change (new packages are added or removed) the archive maintainer has to follow the first two steps outlined above. Could you please produce a release file for Buster? Or direct me on what I need to do to remedy this issue? Many thanks Edited March 28, 2018 by orion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yawor 83 Report post Posted March 29, 2018 @orion just edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and replace debian with ubuntu and buster with with xenial in the Flirc repo address. Then run apt-get update and apt-get install flirc again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
