Can't install mailpile

#1

Hello there,
I am trying to install mailpile in accordance with the instructions, but I’m getting an error
Unable to locate package mailpile
:frowning:
I’ve added all repositories correctly…
sources.list:

 deb http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
    deb-src http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
   deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
    deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

    # stretch-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
    deb http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main

    deb https://packages.mailpile.is/deb release main
    deb-src http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main

please help…

Hi!

That is not in accordance with our instructions on https://www.mailpile.is/download/linux.html - if you had followed those you would have ended up with a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d…

What you are doing should also work if you get everything else right - but I’m still going to recommend you actually follow our instructions as they are written. That is the procedure known to work, trying to figure out what you did wrong is a waste of everyone’s time when a known-to-work procedure is already documented.

Of course, if you had a good reason for doing things differently, or if our instructions are flawed, then we’d like to know and fix them docs! So please do let us know if that is the case. :slight_smile:

Having the same issue while installing on ubuntu 20.04 and using your repositories.
