problem installing xraylib on Ubuntu 20.04 when only using the instructions provided.

[ninorpereira]

sudo apt install libxrl11 libxrl11-dev ,,, etc can't find the packages mentioned with only the instructions given (ubuntu 20.04). I'll look for them with Google, but ideally where to find them should be mentioned as part of the instructions.

[tschoonj]

Did you follow the instructions to the letter? You need to import the key first, followed by modifying /etc/apt/sources.list and running sudo apt-get update, before you can install the xraylib packages.

[ninorpereira]

yes, I believe I did. I did not, however, have any way to verify that I did this correctly. Where can I check that I have the right (or, the new) key? When I do sudo apt update, followed by sudo apt upgrade and then by sudo apt install, it didn't work. So, instead, I downloaded the source, untarred it (in one step, not the two that you mention) and this worked: I now have a directory ~/xraylib-4.1.1 (on my one-user system). I haven't yet tried it out, with the TT program that pointed me to your most valued site.

Can you copy paste the output of sudo apt-get update here? It should contain references to my apt repository.

Thanks

[ninorpereira]

FYI I did: sudo apt update > update-8Jan

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-add-team/icons/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file. which gave me the two errors, above. I always get these, why I don't know but they don't seem to affect anything.

The actual output is in cat update-8Jan: yours is hit 4.

Try removing that elementary-add-team repo from your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and re-run sudo apt-get update. That should get rid of the error message, and may allow you to install xraylib.

[ninorpereira]

I removed the offending ppa. Now, sudo apt update no longer has an error. Your repository is there, but it still can't find some of the sources: (snip) Hit:8 http://xmi-apt.tomschoonjans.eu/ubuntu focal InRelease Fetched 336 kB in 1s (264 kB/s) Reading package lists...

I didn't remember the other packages, so I just asked for the two in my mail to you.

When I google the package, I get back to your page.

in your protocol, I see Get:1 http://xmi-apt.tomschoonjans.eu/ubuntu focal/stable amd64 libxrl11 amd64 4.1.0-1+focal [4638 kB]

but I have: Hit:8 http://xmi-apt.tomschoonjans.eu/ubuntu focal InRelease I assume that "InRelease" implies "/stable amd64", and "amd... "; is that so, or is something missing in my sources.list?

These packages are now officially deprecated, as I will not be building any DEB and RPM packages going forward. I am currently still hosting the existing ones, but I expect to take these down in the not too distant future.
