3 years ago This is probably the script that causes this: https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyRemote/blob/master/debian/soapysdr-server.postinst
It does check for sysctl before using it. So its unfortunate that there is a sysctl executable present, but not really any of the kernel filesystem stuff that supports it.
I'm not really familiar with the windows hybrid environment. I can always shove a true at the end to quiet the errors: sysctl --load /usr/lib/sysctl.d/SoapySDRServer.conf || true
I installed pothos and some of the other tools without keeping track of order under the windows Linux subsystem of win10. I keep getting apt-get errors that were encountered since trying to install soapysdr-server.
I've followed this page step by step to try and resolve it. Seemed like no matter that I did I would still get jammed-up with a 'apt-get Errors were encountered while processing: soapysdr-server' message for installing any other packages. I finally had to go in and wack the soapysdr-server entry in /var/lib/dpkg. Wacking the enty did fix things and I am now functional. (See link above) I have no idea how to repo this. Mostly, entering this report for reference. Examples of the failures follow (strike-throughs are caused by a tilde in the output) :
