'Discord' in Package Installer is broken

[chrispop99]

MX-23.6 (QSI not relevant in this case.)

A Facebook group member found that the version of Discord in the Package Installer is flawed. After installation, launching it triggers an update, which fails, preventing the program from launching. Downloading and installing from the Discord website works as expected.

I can duplicate the problem on a test machine.

Can the version in the PI be updated to the one on the website please?

this is what packageinstaller does.

Code: Select all

wget -O /tmp/discord.deb "https://discordapp.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=deb"

so if that link isn't correct, I need one that is.

**edit** on my system, the link download's the same discord as the download button on the discord website.

this is what mxpi downloads and installs

Code: Select all

dolphin@mx:~
$ apt policy discord 
discord:
  Installed: 0.0.105
  Candidate: 0.0.105
  Version table:
 *** 0.0.105 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

its the exact same discord file as the download link.

Code: Select all

https://stable.dl2.discordapp.net/apps/linux/0.0.105/discord-0.0.105.deb

updates did run, but mine completed just fine.'

I looked up what the facebook user described. teh bit about downloading updates to Downloads and installing them is weird. the discord updater updated itself without me doing anything.
