Ubuntu (.deb) Repository Failing, 24.04 LTS

Post by arrmo »

Hi,

I have used apt on Linux for quite some time, but with v24.04 LTS, I am now seeing this error,

Shell: Select all

W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://get.filebot.net/deb universal InRelease' does not seem to provide it (sources.list entry misspelt?)
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-amd64/Packages' as repository 'https://get.filebot.net/deb universal InRelease' does not seem to provide it (sources.list entry misspelt?)
And when I try to go to

Code: Select all

https://get.filebot.net/deb
I don't see the "normal" result / directory structure.

Anyone else seen this, or a known issue?

Thanks!

:idea: You'll need to go to dists if you want to see the file list: https://get.filebot.net/deb/dists/


:?: What is your sources.list line?


Unfortunately, I don't know why apt update isn't working for you. Nothing has changed in years as far as the repository is concerned. We used to use Ubuntu 24.04 in all our docker containers so it should fundamentally work for your platform. All the current docker containers run on Ubuntu 24.10 and use the Debian repository to install FileBot so that is generally confirmed to work with every build.

OK, that makes sense ... and I see it there. Thanks!

Here it is (hopefully I formatted this right :))

Shell: Select all

Types: deb
URIs: https://get.filebot.net/deb/
Suites: universal
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/filebot-archive-keyring.gpg

Agreed! And I really haven't changed anything either. But looking in the file list you note ... I see that the directory is "binary-all". I wonder if that's the issue - perhaps in the latest Ubuntu it's looking specifically for the correct architecture (i386, amd64)?

Thanks!

The /etc/apt/sources.list.d/filebot.list line should look like this, as per [DEB] Debian package instructions:

Code: Select all

deb [arch=all signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/filebot.gpg] https://get.filebot.net/deb/ universal main

:idea: The code you posted seems to be something imported / generated from the filebot.list so perhaps you'll want to remove the custom repository and then add it again from scratch with the official instructions to see what happens.

Yep, I can get the "old" format to work ... but on the upgrade to 24.04 LTS, it seems that all .list files were upgraded to .sources (i.e. the newer approach). I can go back to .list (for only this one) ... but thinking we try to get it working in .sources format (also)?

Thanks!
