Guys, there is still something fishy about the MXPI. Today, I wanted to update my kicad package since the new release fixes issues which are important to me. It was a transition from the version 5.0.0 to 5.0.2.
I checked my notes and found out that I installed the version 5.0.0 from the test repo using the MXPI. All right, I opened the MXPI and went to check if there is a new version (5.0.2) available. I went to the test repo and to my surprise, the kicad package wasn't there anymore. I tried other sources and I found it only in the Debian Backports section. I wanted to do an upgrade but this did not work. Okay, I removed the old 5.0.0 package completely and wanted to do a "clean" installation of the 5.0.2 version. However, for whatever reason my MXPI started showing the 5.0.2 version of the kicad also in the Stable Repo. I assume this is a bug in the GUI because 5.0.2 installation from the stable repo installs actually the ancient version 4.0.5. Only the installation from the Debian Backports works.
Summary:
- MXPI GUI can go sometimes crazy and shows an incorrect version of packages.
- The GUI gets stuck and now permanently shows incorrect version of kicad in the stable repo no matter what I try (apt clean, reboot).
- why kicad 5.0.0 disappeared from the test repo?
PS: I have two laptops running MX18 so I can compare. Both laptops show different results when I search "kicad" using the MXPI.
Below is an image of the "broken" MXPI. I believe, each of you can confirm that the 5.0.2 in the stable repo does not exist.
