[SOLVED] Error "no package name" when installing Mullvad VPN from MX Package Installer

#1 Post by bwhawk »

When attempting to install Mullvad VPN, I get the error "Download of Mullvad VPN failed [no package name] ". The full transcript is below.

After this happened, I downloaded the deb package from Mullvad's site and attempted to install it manually. That failed, too, I assume because of the systemd dependency.

I think it's simply that the MX18 package of mullvadvpn-downloader-installer didn't get the update that the MX19 package got

OK, as mentioned by tony, this was fixed some month ago, but not made available for MX18.
Until this will be available within repo,
ypu can get the package from here:

After the package is installed, you can install "Mullvad VPN" using MXPI-> Pop.Apps.

It worked! The installer reported an error, but the actual install was successful. I included the mxpi console output below for historical interest.

Thanks for the quick fix!
