Unknown error code

[dschoonover]

Ive tried intalling the pdk package and I return an unknown error code. Ive also tried running the scripts in python 2.7 on a barebones debian system. But i keep gettin ... then i cannot continue to run python scripts. Ive also unziped the .gz and put the file path into the source list after running apt-get install i return

The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I try sudo apt-get install pdk and I return

Unable to locate package pdk

Ive also tried with the all.deb files.

Hi, the message The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened suggests your /etc/apt/sources.list file, or a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ or perhaps the file /var/lib/dpkg/status has a syntax error.

The reason why sudo apt-get install pdk does not work is that we don't have an apt repo set up offering this package. The .deb file can be installed with sudo apt-get install gdebi; sudo gdebi pdk_1.0.0_all.deb which will resolve dependencies for you, once you have fixed the problem with your system above.

Hi ive cleared the
Ect/apt/sources.list
To orginal state.

When I run
sudo apt-get install gdebi; sudo gdebi pdk_1.0.0_all.deb
I return
Gdeb error, file not found

Ive moved the file to the home directory
Ran cd /home
I still return Gdeb error, file not found

I read about 64bit and 32bit compatibility.

I ran

Sudo Dpkg --add architecture i386
Then
Sudo apt-get update
Then
Sudo apt-get install libc6: i386 zlib1g: i386 ...
Then
Sudo apt-get upgrade
Sudo apt-get update
Then
Sudo gdebi pdk_1.0.0_all.deb

PDK is now installed.

We should setup an apt repository for version 1.0 unstable testing. I like the idea of https://packagecloud.io/, but I am always weary of cloud stuff.

Daniel, can you look into the best way of us doing this? A neat way would be an auto-deb-generator which updates the repository on every Git commit ;-). This would also be very useful for our other projects.
