Unable to install apt

[Adel Ahmed]

I have enabled the kaa repository to install the apt command, but then I found that the ebuild was very old and referencing an old source file:

Code: Select all

I tried tricking the system into downloading and installing using the same ebuild, so I renamed the ebuild to a version that exists (1.8.2.3) and ran:

Code: Select all

cd /var/db/repos/kaa/sys-apps/apt
mv apt-1.4.6.ebuild apt-1.8.2.3.ebuild
ebuild apt-1.8.2.3.ebuild manifest

and now I'm getting:

Code: Select all

any idea how to fix this or to get the apt command working? I need it to run the runescape installer script:

Code: Select all

sudo -s -- << EOF
wget -O - https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/runescape.gpg.key | apt-key add -
mkdir -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d
echo "deb https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu trusty non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/runescape.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -y runescape-launcher
EOF

Try to change default line with cmake_src_prepare in ebuild.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Unsupported Software.

thanks for that, I believe it worked, it progresses through the compilation but then it fails with:

Code: Select all

/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/apt-1.8.2.3/work/apt-1.8.2.3/test/interactive-helper/aptwebserver.cc:36:55: error: variable 'constexpr const std::array<std::array<const char*, 2>, 6> htmlencode' has initializer but incomplete type
   36 |    constexpr std::array<std::array<char const *,2>,6> htmlencode = {{
      |                                                       ^~~~~~~~~~

any idea how this error can be solved?

thanks
