@alternativesurfer what is the checksum of the deb you downloaded and what version of apt do you have?

Hi, sorry, missed that update. Just tested again on LibreTime 3.0.0~alpha.8-1u3 and receive this error:

$ sudo apt install libretime_3.0.0.alpha.8-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb

You need to specify a path, otherwise apt will try install it from the repos. Run this instead (note the ./):

sudo apt install ./libretime_3.0.0.alpha.8-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb

having the same issue in bionic, kindof, any hints on what should i check?

@m0ck0 what command are you using to install?

[m0ck0]

sudo apt install icecast2 ./libretime_3.0.0.alpha.8-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb

anyway i ended up installing it by downloading de tar.gz and runing ./install and worked like a charm.

[paddatrapper]

For some reason dpkg is calling libretime.postinst with the install argument, instead of libretime.preinst. I have fixed it and it will be in the next release

[alternativesurfer]

anyway i ended up installing it by downloading de tar.gz and runing ./install and worked like a charm.

I ended up going this route however received an error again:

Install default Airtime apache configuration? (Y/n): y

-----------------------------------------------------
                * Configuring Apache *

AH00526: Syntax error on line 26 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/airtime.conf:
Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
ERROR: unknown location of Apache sites-available or virtual host directory!

Seems like the autoinstaller is not enabling rewrite.

If I manually activate rewrite the installer continues, finishing with:

Installed /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/airtime_celery-0.1-py2.7.egg

after which I can open the webgui, however authenticating to the DB Settings page always rejects the default credentials.

I suggest you do one of three things:

1. Open an issue at LibreTime/libretime with the details;
2. Ask on Discourse; or
3. Ask on Mattermost

Where more people will be able to help you
