syntax error in MH download page

Postby cretox » Wed Mar 17, 2010 8:28 am

Hi,
I've tried to install MH through APT, according to this page: http://sites.google.com/site/makehumandocs/download
but aptitude give me an error:
Code: Select all
E: Malformed line 36 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)                                                                                                                               
E: The list of sources could not be read.                                                                                                                                                     
E: Malformed line 36 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)                                                                                                                               
E: Couldn't read list of package sources

So I've modified the line:
Code: Select all
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/deb/amd64/

to:
Code: Select all
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/deb/amd64 ./

and everything ran fine!

(it's the same for i386)

Hope it can help... :)

Yeah, that seems to be a bad copy/paste. The source of the info, http://mh.jwp.se/deb.php (reached at the link you find on the page you refer to) is correct and says:

To set up apt to manage the amd64 packages, add exactly the following at the bottom of your sources.list:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/deb/amd64/ /

To set up apt to manage the i386 packages, add exactly the following at the bottom of your sources.list:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/deb/i386/ /


Thanks for the head's up. I'll see what I can do about correcting the info.
