This may have been taken care of with 3.25.4 (if I could download the package I would check myself) but if not could you please add it to the todo list for 3.25.5. The /usr/bin/Flirc gui works just fine, but others may want the command line.

The manual https://flirc.gitbooks.io/flirc-instructions/content/installation/linux-installation-guide.html says to add this to your sources.list file to be able to download the .deb packages deb http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64 binary/ This is incorrect. The correct setting, which is hidden inside the install.sh script is more like this deb [trusted=yes] https://apt.fury.io/flirc/ / Please can you get rid of the incorrect information and point people to the correct location for the install.sh which is 'http://apt.flirc.tv/install.sh' as explained here https://flirc.tv/ubuntu-software-installation-guide
