Installing updates failes on Ubuntu 16.04 #15

Closed derMart closed 6 years ago

Issue Description

The updater notifies of a new update. After downloading it asks to install. After the sudo password promt I get this error:

Error: Command failed: SHELL=/bin/bash pkexec rpm -U /tmp/atom-updater-linux.installer
rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages, use Alien instead!
rpm: However assuming you know what you are doing...
error: Failed dependencies:
    lsb-core-noarch is needed by atom-1.29.0-0.1.x86_64
    libXss.so.1()(64bit) is needed by atom-1.29.0-0.1.x86_64
    libsecret-1.so.0()(64bit) is needed by atom-1.29.0-0.1.x86_64

Atom version: 1.27.1 Package version: 1.2.2 Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04

This is a duplicate of #12

Thank you very much for the response. However, I am surprised that you closed this ticket. I am also suprised that the duplicate is closed. Apparently the issue is not fixed. In #12 you propose a workaround, but that does not solve the issue that the plugin for "some unusal reason" looks as though rpm is installed, although it is not, because a debian based system is used. Please repoen this ticket or #12 until the problem is solved. If you need some more information to do that I am happy to help.

Thank you very much.

In your case, rpm is installed - try running whereis rpm.

That being said, given multiple people are encountering this issue, see the amendments in #20.
