issue with make server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

[Brian2-Cohen-Bose]

@talex5 I have stood up a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server on Linode, and am trying to now build a cueserver for my use. I believe I have installed all the opam packages, but I get this error now:

root@localhost:~/cuekeeper# make server
rm -rf _build/static
mkdir -p _build/static
cp -r resources _build/static/
dune build --profile=release ./js/client.bc.js
File "lib/ck_utils.ml", line 70, characters 2-30:
70 |   ReactiveData.RList.make_from init changes
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Don't forget to build the client first. Those instructions should install the dependencies you need.

Ok, right duh! :-)

When executing opam install --deps-only -t cuekeeper I get the following error:

root@localhost:~/cuekeeper# opam install --deps-only -t cuekeeper

I just tried it on Ubuntu 20.04 and it worked for me (I used the ocurrent/opam:ubuntu-20.04-ocaml-4.07 Docker image to test it). Looks like your /root/.opam/download-cache got corrupted somehow. Deleting that (or the whole ~/.opam directory) and trying again might fix it.
