LibreWolf repo address has changed [Solved]

[siamhie]

Just a heads-up

I was doing my usual check for updates and kept getting GPG signature errors with LibreWolf. I disabled the repo and went about my business and decided to try later.
After I re-enabled the repo and tried again, I got the same message, so I searched The Duck for answers and came across this link from LibreWolf's web page.

The structure of our Debian repository has changed! Existing Debian users (currently possibly encountering errors) should follow our Migration Guide.

Debian Migration Guide

Followed the instructions and now I have a new repo address (last entry).

Code: Select all

inxi -r

New users will encounter this message when installing LibreWolf for the first time.

Let me try that in my XFCE VM and I'll report back.

*Update: command not found

Code: Select all

siamhie@mxxfce:~
$ sudo extrepo enable librewolf
[sudo] password for siamhie:         
sudo: extrepo: command not found

[dolphin_oracle]

well you have to install it.

but no matter, it exits gracefully if a repo is already configured.

pushing out updates to mx-packageinstaller-pkglist for mx21 and 23 thanks!

I got this when I ran it again.

Code: Select all

 sudo extrepo enable librewolf
[sudo] password for towwire: 


Configuration enabled.

Note that configuration for this repository already existed; it was enabled, but not updated.
For updates, see the update command.towwire@mx:~

I even tried this command and it errors in my VM.

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt install extrepo -y

I think you still have to run this command first.

Code: Select all

sudo rm -f \
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.sources \
  /etc/apt/keyrings/librewolf.gpg \
  /etc/apt/preferences.d/librewolf.pref \
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.list \
  /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/librewolf.gpg

yes. mostly why I asked about running the command a second time. but it all good, thanks.

Even though LibreWolf didn't install the librewolf.list and librewolf.gpg was added to the apt folders.
I've since removed them and will wait until your update comes through and try again in the VM.

[siamhie]

Thank you for that quick fix. Updated package list and LibreWolf installed with no errors.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just followed the commands shown in the Migration Guide link, worked perfectly and took about half a minute.
