Dear All,
TLDR;
I have trouble installing pd-extended from the debian repos.
Long Version:
I am trying to install the "pd-extended:i386" package on debian (jessie) on a 64 bit machine. It seems that the apt-release.conf file is wrong?
no not really.
The file is located at: http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/jessie/apt-release.conf
Inside the file it says: APT::FTPArchive::Release::Codename "wheezy”;
that's because the pd-extended deb is *really* for build for wheezy. (and only incidentally made available for newer distributions, like jessie)
As a result my apt / aptitude complains that there’s a distribution conflict. The pd-exnrended:i386 has dependencies on the packages "python-support”, and “ttf-dejadvu”, both of which don’t seem to be in the repos…
How should I proceed?
- downgrade your system to Debian/wheezy?
- use one of the "nightly" builds for jessie [1] (which are *not* a
proper release, but are just a snapshot of the repository whenever the build happened).
- don't use Pd-extended as it is unsupported and dead.
the only "fix" i could offer is to completely remove the http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/jessie/ directory.
