Repository MadLinux break Ubuntu!

[JumperLuko]

Describe the bug Do you recommend adding the repository to ubuntu:https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher#ubuntu-third-party-apt-repository Please remove this recommendation for Ubuntu, this repository was made for Debian, it broke several system packages like Wine!

Expected behavior The repo update only de heroic games, maybe a PPA?

Screenshots

• OS: Zorin OS
• Version 16

HI! That's weird, maybe @rauldipeas have some idea why this is happening, he is the MAD Repo maintainer.

This is not related to my repository.

By the way, my repository have an updated WINE packages, so you should install winehq-stable instead of wine.

This PPA polluted Ubuntu 21.04 for me.

This is what happened after I added it. All these packages get polluted:

Note the first entry coming from the new PPA. Packages such as LLVM/Clang are dangerous to replace from a non-official repo since so many things depend on it (stuff from other ppa's and so on), and these usually break if it's not the exact version from the distribution.

I don't know what would have happened had I proceeded with the upgrade (most likely nothing good), so I immediately purged it to avoid further problems.

What's interesting is that heroic doesn't even need any of that. The only dependencies listed are gawk and curl:

Maybe, we should include an apt pinning config file to never update other packages. Try to put this content on /etc/apt/preferences.d/madlinux and let me know if it works.

That works. Seems to only affect wine (and sublime editor but that's an orphan on my system left over from a previous OS upgrade).

I read all this We can be simple and solve fast

1- Create a pin file, for Heroic sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/heroic

2- Put this inside (black list all, after enable only heroic package)

3- Run the madrepo.sh file

Suggestion: insert this whitelist file in madrepo.sh, you can just copy the command below. sudo echo -e "# MAD Linux > Heroic Games\nPackage: *\nPin: origin sourceforge.net\nPin-Priority: -100\n\nPackage: heroic\nPin: origin sourceforge.net\nPin-Priority: 100" > /etc/apt/preferences.d/heroic

Pin-Priority: -100

Package: heroic
Pin: origin sourceforge.net
Pin-Priority: 100

3- Run the madrepo.sh file

Suggestion: insert this whitelist file in madrepo.sh, you can just copy the command below. sudo echo -e "# MAD Linux > Heroic Games\nPackage: *\nPin: origin sourceforge.net\nPin-Priority: -100\n\nPackage: heroic\nPin: origin sourceforge.net\nPin-Priority: 100" > /etc/apt/preferences.d/heroic

There's no need to include Heroic in this file with low pin priority.

I'll update the script.

HI! That's weird, maybe @rauldipeas have some idea why this is happening, he is the MAD Repo maintainer.

This is not related to my repository.

By the way, my repository have an updated WINE packages, so you should install winehq-stable instead of wine.

liar, it also broke my install

so is my fault that YOUR repo that has packages FOR DEBIAN and never specifies it broke my UBUNTU install?

Hey guys, calm down. I just merged the changes to fix the Ubuntu Issues and I think might be better to change the README as well specifying that this will work for Debian only. We have another repository for Ubuntu that we are testing and will contain only Heroic so I think might be safer to use on it and also on derivatives.

thank you because this is the second install I have to reinstall, fortunately my internet isn't trash af so it doesn't hurt much

the thing is that apt never specifies from which repo the package comes from, so I didn't knew it was madlinux's fault, until I saw this issue

With the pinning file, any Debian or Ubuntu derivative are good to go.

Well I fixed my install, it was literally to the point of unusability but I did it somehow, still I'm probably going to wait for the ubuntu ppa instead of risking breaking it again with madlinux

If you only want to pull the epic package to update, use my script, it's a whitelist

@rauldipeas @JumperLuko While this is a good fix in the interim, may I recommend setting up a Ubuntu-specific PPA on launchpad.net? I think Ubuntu and its derivates are popular enough to warrant this. The building and publishing of updates is automatic after you set it up.
