Debian sid install

paxmark1 · 11-27-2014, 09:56 PM

Fix as of dec 18, 2014 end of ecit

Went to Debian sid on one machine

For the standard linux install I get the following for output

Code:

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linux-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"

I do have python 2.7 installed

Any hints or suggestions?

From the download page:

If you get an error about an untrusted certificate, that means your computer does not have any root certificates installed and so cannot download the installer securely. If you still want to proceed, pass the --no-check-certificate option to wget, like this:
Code:
```
sudo -v && wget --no-check-certificate -nv -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ko...x-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"
```

the error is in downloading the tarball, after wget has retrieved the installer...

Pretty good if @paxmark1 was able to get python 2.7.9 12 days early.

And... I see it's been fixed.

Fixed.

In the hiatus I went with apt-get install to have the sid (and jesie) verison 2.9.0+dfsg-1

On seeing the above posts I tried again.
First apt-get remove calbre was not enough, but it did install When opened it spawned and died. apt-get purge of the 2.90 and I have a functional 2.12
