deb-get update failing on Linux Mint #822

Daeraxa · 2023-04-28T01:10:16Z

Reporting a bug 🐛

Expected behavior

deb-get update performs the update and provides a list of installable packages via deb-get list

Actual behavior

Stops on the following error:

  [!] ERROR! Missing required information of github package jellyfin-media-player:
                                                                                  URL=
                                                                                      VERSION_PUBLISHED=

deb-get list now stops at jellyfin as does the content of /var/cache/deb-get

Steps to reproduce

deb-get update

Also ran deb-get clean first but still shows the same issue (but on the first update it instead prints the above error into the terminal prompt:

 ~$ deb-get update

Hmm - what's the bash version on Mint 21 ?
bash --version|grep bash ...

Daeraxa · 2023-04-28T02:01:44Z

GNU bash, version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

Just in case it matters I use the fish shell but saw the same issue with bash (not that I assume it matters what the terminal shell is when running the commands).

This was working before but I realised I just upgraded very recently from Mint 21 to 21.1 so it is possible something broke there.

philclifford · 2023-04-28T11:43:40Z

I can reproduce this on a Mint 21 VM (which is struggling to apt update because gpg keys cycling, but that's unrelated - just very unhelpful!)
Installing deb-get required a dance too that either needs documenting or I should read the docs first next time ...

As to the problem in hand 🤷 it makes no sense - this will take some time to find I fear. I suspect this may also apply to debian 😿

Update: debian has issues (usual app/release support pain) but it is nothing like this. Just a datapoint, no closer to an idea

philclifford · 2023-04-28T11:45:01Z

@Daeraxa could you change the issue title to include "on Linux Mint" please

philclifford · 2023-05-10T18:06:14Z

Aha! I think I have the solution: the definition of jellyfin-media-player needs 's/ OS_CODENAME/UPSTREAM_CODENAME/' . Worked on my VM. I'll drop it in my branches and so on, but for immediate relief this should help :

sed   's/OS_CODENAME/UPSTREAM_CODENAME/' /etc/deb-get/01-main.d/jellyfin-media-player >/etc/deb-get/99-local.d/jellyfin-media-player

Daeraxa · 2023-05-10T18:08:28Z

That is great that you managed to find it, I'll have a go on my PC in a bit and let you know!

Daeraxa · 2023-05-10T20:14:00Z

Yay it worked! I get a full list now after running deb-get update.

philclifford · 2023-05-10T20:37:43Z

Thanks! Sorry it took so long to spot.

Daeraxa · 2023-05-10T20:43:50Z

No need to apologise, its an open source project. I'm only thankful for the time and effort being put into it.
