Cannot install deb-get on Ubuntu 24.04 (I'm using WSL though that should not make any difference)

Reporting a bug 🐛

Expected behavior

The installation should succeed without any errors.

Actual behavior

The installation fails stating that it is not Debian/Ubuntu derived. ERROR! Ubuntu Noble is not supported because it is not derived from a supported Debian or Ubuntu release. I tried both through the script and manually installing the .deb

Steps to reproduce

Follow installion in README.md

Same here with my system upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat beta.

When support for this version will be added?

[Fuseteam]

24.04 isn't out yet, it is in its beta phase as we speak, so deb-get cannot support it yet

Once noble stable is released later this month, then deb-get can get noble support

[dacorsa]

Hi @Fuseteam , was released yesterday, we'll waiting deb-get will supports it, ;)

[saullubkin]

I have the same problem. I hope that deb-get will support Ubuntu 24.04 soon.

[Fuseteam]

it's only a few days guys come on, give them time

[dacorsa]

Thanks for all, now works well !!! Thanks to all the team deb-get !!! best regards

deb-get still will not install on desktop Ubuntu 24.04

Setting up deb-get (0.4.0-1) ... [!] ERROR! Ubuntu Noble is not supported because it is not derived from a supported Debi an or Ubuntu release.

@cst-rmrz you have to install in this way:

cd /app git clone https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get.git cd /app/deb-get/ git reset --hard git pull cd /app/deb-get/docs/ ls -la /usr/bin/deb-get* make install ls -la /usr/bin/deb-get*

@cst-rmrz you have to install in this way:

cd /app git clone https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get.git cd /app/deb-get/ git reset --hard git pull cd /app/deb-get/docs/ ls -la /usr/bin/deb-get* make install ls -la /usr/bin/deb-get*

Works perfectly! Thanks so much.

[Fuseteam]

@TiLopes can you also confirm?

[TiLopes]

It works now.

[Fuseteam]

feel free to close issue, in that case i would say @TiLopes :smile:

[saullubkin]

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.

Here's what I just got trying to use deb-get in a terminal:

sudo deb-get install zoom dropbox [sudo] password for saul: [!] ERROR! Ubuntu Noble is not supported because it is not derived from a supported Debian or Ubuntu release.

So I know that the issue is not solved yet.

try this @saullubkin https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/issues/1029#issuecomment-2099002203

[philclifford]

sudo deb-get

Also : Never use sudo deb-get! just deb-get - it will ask for elevation if/when it needs it.

[moorepants]

I did a fresh install, as per the readme instructions, and I still get the error:

  [!] ERROR! Ubuntu Noble is not supported because it is not derived from a supported Debian or Ubuntu release.

I'm guessing a new release needs to be made before this functions on Noble. Is that possible? I use this to install Zoom and Zoom has recently dropped support for very recent old versions and I'm not able to update Zoom with deb-get anymore and cannot use it.

[philclifford]

See comments above: you just need to get the latest deb-get until a new release arrives. Clone or download the repo and go into the docs directory and sudo make install . Or just download the latest deb-get script and use that one.

[saullubkin]

I downloaded the shell script from wimpysworld, and called in deb-get-sh. The following command works well for me:

sudo /bin/bash ~/deb-get.sh install zoom dropbox

(But at the moment, to the best of my knowledge, there is not yet an executable deb-get that works on 24.04.)
