Packages are NOT existent in raspbian archive #15

Closed wlatendresse closed 9 years ago

wlatendresse commented 9 years ago

The packages for pifacecad are simple NOT there anymore. Furthermore I would like to see jessie being supported.

wlatendresse commented 9 years ago

This is just the kind of support why the piFace products are a NO-GO at the moment!

@OtakuWally indeed.. do seem unsupported.. ;-))

My /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free

deb https://repositories.collabora.co.uk/debian/ jessie rpi2 

deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free

And the apt output:

apt-cache showpkg python3-pifacecad
N: Unable to locate package python3-pifacecad

So please tell me what I am doing wrong, if I am forgetting something. I really would like to avoid building from github ... Thanks

Of course I tried to install the source package with apt-src as well, which did not work.

wlatendresse commented 9 years ago

Well, this is what I found about this topic in a post on StackExchange:

We're working with the repo maintainers on getting the packages into Jessie as soon as we can. I don't know why they have disappeared. The debs are here if you want to install them with dpkg -i but you'll have to do dependency resolution yourself.

This worked flawlessly. A pointer to the releases on GitHub in the installation guide would be great though, for all people who do not use github that much ;-)

Thanks, at last I can start playing with it ...

tompreston commented 9 years ago

@OtakuWally Sure, I'll point to the debs in the docs. Also, Raspbian doesn't officially support Jessie at the moment so neither do we - at the moment. On top of this you're mixing all kinds of repositories in your sources.list. Perhaps try using just:

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
wlatendresse commented 9 years ago

Yeah, thanks. I know about the multiple repositories, which actually have been commented out. Just used these to try to get the source package.

wlatendresse commented 9 years ago

Since I am using original debian on my RPI2 I see no point in using the raspbian archives as long as you do not support jessie anyways.
