Installing apts

Open pythoncat1 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I am trying to install apts, but every time it says E: No installation candidate. I tried running this (I am aware that pip is slow, but I don’t think there is a Debian package for flask):

sudo apt install python3-pip

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

  • OS and version: Windows 11
  • Connection Type: Wi-Fi
  • Software: Visual Studio Code and PuTTY

Robot:

  • Device: EV3
  • Versions: Custom RBIRobot build built onto the most recent build (it supports Wi-Fi dongles like the Edimax one)

I will comment the output of ev3dev-sysinfo -m later as I do not have access to my brick right now.

To fix apt in general, /etc/apt/sources.list needs to be changed to match https://github.com/ev3dev/docker-library/blob/master/ev3dev-stretch/layers/debian/etc/apt/sources.list

However, the Python in stretch is so old that pip will not work with PyPI anymore.
