| Guest51 | Hi everyone, I want to install a package listed on `https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html` but when i use `apt search` it gives the error of unable to locate package. How can i fix this? Please help, I am new to linux. | 01:15 |
|---|---|---|
| UsL | Guest51: is it perhaps is contrib or non-free? | 01:17 |
| golinux | Name of the mystery package? | 01:17 |
| golinux | UsL: Or on the banned package list. | 01:18 |
| UsL | indeed. | 01:18 |
| Guest51 | I am trying to install polybar | 01:18 |
| UsL | weird. It's in main. | 01:20 |
| golinux | Please post your sources.list somewhere and put link here | 01:20 |
| fsmithred | it's in beowulf-backports | 01:23 |
| fsmithred | deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main | 01:24 |
| golinux | Have to use pkgmaster for backports? | 01:25 |
| golinux | Why not deb.devuan.org? | 01:25 |
| fsmithred | oops | 01:25 |
| fsmithred | no, you can use deb.devuan.org | 01:26 |
| fsmithred | it's the better choice. (pkgmaster is slow) | 01:26 |
| Guest51 | Here are my enabled repos [url=https://i.imgur.com/tKn8ad5.png] | 01:29 |

| fsmithred | Guest51, add one more line that's the same as the others except says beowulf-backports instead of just beowulf | 01:30 |
| fsmithred | apt update | 01:30 |
| golinux | So just check the backports line. | 01:30 |
| fsmithred | apt -t beowulf-bacports install polybar | 01:30 |
| golinux | Or that | 01:31 |
| Guest51 | Thank you. doing that. | 01:31 |
| fsmithred | yeah, if the line is already there and grayed out, enable it | 01:31 |
| Guest51 | It has worked (y) | 01:32 |
| onefang | More to the point pkgmaster is the master repo that all the mirrors sync to, best to not bog it down with other things. | 01:34 |
| rrq | onefang: is apt-panopticon out skiing? | 01:42 |
| onefang | Borta and veritas fell over, sledjhamr is still running. | 01:43 |
| onefang | Making it less fragile is on my TODO. | 01:59 |
| onefang | Should be good now. | 02:11 |
| onefang | And I'll be out most of the day. | 02:11 |
| fling | golinux: thanks. | 06:50 |
| fling | nemo: for jami | 06:50 |
| fling | I had to switch to ubuntu repos to be able to install some lib missing in chimaera | 06:51 |
| fling | Then I was able to install jami. | 06:51 |
| fling | I wanted to try new version so the idea was to install it using snapd as an user there. | 06:51 |
| fling | Looks like it is not going to happen :> | 06:51 |
| fling | https://dl.jami.net/nightly | 06:52 |
| fling | https://dl.jami.net/internal | 06:52 |
| fling | Can't we package jami somehow instead? ^ | 06:52 |
| fling | The one for ubuntu 20.04 works fine on chimaira. | 06:53 |
| plasma41 | fling: snapd is not available in Devuan as it depends on systemd | 06:55 |
| fling | plasma41: already figured it out :> | 06:55 |
| fling | ignorant snapd! | 06:56 |
| golinux | fling: Also installing packages from Ubuntu is like Russian Roulette. Sooner or later it will bite you and break your system. | 07:27 |
| iLinux-OS-User | Ubuntu = Bug Factory | 07:32 |
| fling | golinux: I only did one lib, jpeg or something | 08:06 |
| fling | golinux: it will get replaced by devuan's lib eventually anyway | 08:08 |
| mason | fling: You're better off getting the source package and doing a local build. | 15:53 |
| joerg | to aiao et al: http://reisenweber.net/irclogs/freenode/_devuan/_devuan.2021-07-07.log.html#t2021-07-07T19:04:43 there's chanlog for a reason | 16:07 |
