When I run sudo apt-get update

I get below error.

W: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gezakovacs/pdfocr/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages Failed to download the file. 404 Not Found

Please add a suitable PPA for ubuntu 14.04. Thank you!

i can confirm that. As a workaround I installed the saucy package.

I'm in the same boat as snowboard975. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and would love to use pdfocr.

The (current) standard Ubuntu on Amazon Web Services is 14.04, so I think it would benefit many people if there was a suitable PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 (codename trusty).

For those in AWS, it is possible to use Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) and then install pdfocr, but I don't like having to go down to an older version when my apps were made for a more recent one.

Or is there a workaround @xylo to stay on Ubuntu 14.04, but use the saucy package? How did you implement that? Many thanks

xylo commented 9 years ago

@mmcraedhcu You can stay on Ubuntu 14.04 and just install the saucy package. That's what I did. And I did not downgrade any package. However, it was fortune that the binary version of 12.04 still worked with 14.04. So of course I would also prefer to have a repository particular for 14.04.

mmcraedhcu commented 9 years ago

@xylo Thank you for your suggestion. One thing: I am still new with Ubuntu. I don't know how to "install the saucy package."

I was simply using sudo apt-get, in which case everything is using trusty. So naturally I get this error

xylo commented 9 years ago

You can download the saucy deb directly (http://ppa.launchpad.net/gezakovacs/pdfocr/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pdfocr/pdfocr_0.1.4-1~saucy1_all.deb) and install it via

sudo dpkg -i <path_to_pdfocr_0.1.4-1~saucy1_all.deb>

Or you adapt the your /etc/apt/sources.list or the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d that contains the gezakovacs repository and manually replace "trusty" by "saucy" in all lines containing "gezakovacs". Then you could install the package also via apt-get.

The newest version of pdfocr is not yet updated to the repository of saucy or trust either. But I guess most people use the repository to install pdfocr, and they're still installing and using a two year old version until now. Would you please update the new pdfocr to the Ubuntu repository or place a installation method to have the newest version somewhere in this homepage?
