[Solved] megasync update

[mithrandir]

I have fixed by manual installation, but I'd like to know what is the real problem in updating with apt...

[Eadwine Rose]

Could someone give me what was in the synaptic repo fields again originally?

I mean.. I just removed the ./ bit, hit reload and now it's gone *snort*


Oh duh.. scroll up lady.... found it.

Have you fixed the problem?

No, since we don't know what the error is. I just put the old original back in.

[mithrandir]

No, since we don't know what the error is. I just put the old original back in.

ok... I agree, perhaps there is no solution

Maybe MEGAsync changed the config of their server?
Advise them of your problem, so the update might work in the future?
or
NOTE: Maybe not. See below. :}

OK, this appears to be an error in the package that contains all the scripts for the MX Package Installer (mx-packageinstaller-pkglist).
I'll notify the developer.

well, if someone can find a new working megasync repo, I'll update it.

this is what megasync puts in the sources when you install manually.

Code: Select all

deb https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/Debian_9.0/ ./

so I think their repo isn't quite right at the moment.

There is a "bug" whtin the mx-packageinstaller-pkglist as shown here:

Code: Select all

grep -E 'wget.*-o' mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/megasync.pm
wget https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/Debian_9.0/Release.key -o /tmp/megarelease.key

Find the bug!
Hint: s/-o/-O/
Which makes apt complaining about not able to verify the package, as the key is downloaded
but saved under it original name!

Similar "bugs" here:

Code: Select all

$ grep -lE 'wget.* -o' mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/*.pm 
mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/megasync.pm
mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/spotify_32.pm
mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/spotify_64.pm

EDIT: just verfied! -o is not correct, wget needs -O outputfile, with capital "-O"

Code: Select all

LANG=C wget --help | grep -E --  ' -o| -O'
  -o,  --output-file=FILE          log messages to FILE
  -O,  --output-document=FILE      write documents to FILE

maybe, but the install now goes through. I think they fixed their repo.

I'll correct the -O/-o.

I'll correct the -O/-o.

Sure, if the Realease.key is already in the keyring.
Otherwise "apt-key add /tmp/megarelease.key" will never work!

If you going to fix mx-packageinstaller-pkglist you might consider to fix this one also:

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r-- 1 fehlix fehlix  0 Jan 13 19:17 Chinese_fonts .pm

the lenght of zero byte.
This is within the just download deb-file mx-packageinstaller-pkglist_18.05.01_all.deb.
If you fetch from git the file 'Chinese_fonts .pm" is not empty.
I assume the reason of the empty file in the deb is because of the "space"
within the filename made a zero-length during packaging.

done and done. no clue on the file name, but anything is possible. it didn't give any errors during packaging, but its fixed now!
