I am using dCore-bionic64 from the release directory, dCore-bionic64:201912.03.20.44. I ran in to a failed download of chromium-browser with this command:
sce-import chromium-browser
I had the following setup for the sce-import command:
1) the debmirror and securitymirror files were set to their respective, default values,
2) No additional repositories were set in the debinx directory
I got the following results:
1) The ubuntu_bionic_main_amd64_Package file pointed to Filename: pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/chromium-browser_65.0.3325.181-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb, a very old version,
2) ubuntu_bionic_security_amd64_Packages file pointed to Filename: pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/chromium-browser_80.0.3987.163-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb which did not exist in the security respository. Instead,chromium-browser_80.0.3987.163-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb exists -- ubuntu1, not ubuntu0. There is actually a newer version available in the security repository, chromium-browser_81.0.4044.138-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb.
3) sce-import picked up the chromium-browser from the security universe repository instead of the security main repository.
My questions are:
1) why was the latest .deb file not picked?
2) why was the universe repository used, not main? Note: there were no chromium-browser files in the main repository. To be honest, I am not convinced that this is even an sce-import issue. Rather, this could be an issue with the Ubuntu security repository. Please advise.
I have attached the sce-import log file below. If you look at it, you will see that 3 file downloads failed. The reason I believe the download failed is the ubuntu_bionic_main_amd64_Package file pointed to a file that does not exist in the security repository.
Thank you to all the tinycore and dCore contributors for these wonderful distributions.
