Ubuntu (.deb) Repository Failing, 24.04 LTS

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
I don't see the "normal" result / directory structure.
Anyone else seen this, or a known issue?
Thanks!

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
)

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
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!

i guess you updated your repo since but just change universal to stable

There notably is a
universal and
stable repository. The
stable repository exists for legacy reasons and provides an architecture-specific package for
amd64 platforms only. The
universal repository will work on all platforms including
amd64 and
aarch64 because it relies on the package repository for all native dependencies like JRE, JNA, etc. We use the
universal repository for our docker builds so this is the one we use ourselves and generally recommend to everyone.

The modernized source file misses an option. In the .list file there's the deb option
which hasn't been modernized to
in the .source file.

I’m pretty sure we only provide deb lines at the time of writing. Where did your .source file come from?

I upgraded my Debian 12 to Debian 13 a few days ago. Due to a different problem I had to
This told me that I had .list files that I should convert to the modern deb822 format by using
I did that and stumbled upon the same warning as the OP. I guess, Ubuntu did something similar during upgrade to 24.04.
The modernize-sources action, though, only supports signed-by and another option I forgot, just not arch. I thought, posting the solution here might help others. Also, it won't hurt to update the docs accordingly if I may humbly suggest that.
The modern deb822 format allows to embed the public key in it thus a user could curl just the .sources file and put it to the correct dir in one step. I don't know since when it is understood but Debian 12 already does, and I'm quite sure that Debian 11 does, too, maybe even Debian 10. Ubuntu-wise, 22.04 should understand the format, too. Older releases are EoL, anyway.

I see. I’ll look into this new deb source file format.

I played a little bit around to properly embed the public key. Seems like `gpg --armor <file>` produces something incompatible. But I found out about Sequoia and its command-line tool `sq` which allows `sq packet arrnor <file>`. The output embedded in the .sources file then works:

During my websearches I found out that Ubuntu does understand this file format since 20.04. The man page says it's available since apt 1.1.
It's surprisingly hard to find a changelog of or version history for apt. I found an article from 2015 showcasing the new features of apt 1.1. I guess, it's safe to assume that only very ancient systems wouldn't understand deb822-style .sources files.

Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the
