E: Failed to fetch store:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/packages.sil.org_ubuntu_dists_bionic_main_dep11_icons-64x64.tar.gz
By the way, when I run sudo update-alternatives --config java I get the following:
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1101 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1101 manual mode
Hi,
I have installed SAB 4.5 on Ubuntu bionic - Not sure about your problem - suggest checking the sources list etc. SAB is available - see the following packages link:
SAB 4.5 for Ubuntu 18.04 was released on Apr 16. We test with straight Ubuntu / Gnome (or Unity) and do not officially support other variants (i.e. you may have problems and we don’t have the resources to track down issues). I have known of problems on KDE-based systems.
As for the DEP-11 Metadata problem, it has been reported today on the LSDev Slack #linux channel. I added a comment on the thread with a link to this post. I will try to watch for changes on that slack channel and report back here.
I also just setup a VM with 18.04.1 and verified this issue.
This issue has been reported by multiple people in different forums. We are still waiting to hear back from those who are maintaining the Linux repo.
Here was a work-around reported on the LinuxUser email distribution list:
I copied the SIL repository files out of /var/lib/apt/partial to /var/lib/apt. I figured it wouldn’t hurt anything since it was just the icon files and dep11. Then ran an update and it didn’t complain anymore. Installed paratext and it installed fine.
I guess it would be easy enough to test again by deleting the sil repository files from /var/lib/apt and doing an update, but my internet is horrible and I wouldn’t know who to report it to anyways if it was still broke.
Thank you all - mcquayi, laurief, and Chris for the notes you provided. My 18.04 Kubuntu machine does not have a /var/lib/apt/partial directory so I am not able to follow Chris’s most recent suggestion. I do have openjdk-8-jre, openjdk-8-jdk, xterm installed but have not been able to install python-aeneas and of course I have not been able to install scripture-app-builder in this 18.04 machine.
At this point, I think I will wipe the 18.04 out and re-build with 16.04. SAB worked fine in that.
Wonderful! I tried again with Kubuntu 18.04 and was able to complete the SAB install. I have not built an app yet but everything looks in place ready to build a new app!
Thanks you very much, your note has saved me much work!
