Cannot install signal-desktop
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
On a fresh install of T12 I am trying to install signal-desktop. I had signal-desktop installed on the T12 that crashed and hence its files are in my back-up, which I grsync'ed to the fresh install. I have tried to delete any file and folder related to the old installation of signal-desktop, but I do not know if I have found all. I have tried to install signal-desktop anew with the following the commands from https://signal.org/download/#:
# NOTE: These instructions only work for 64-bit Debian-based
# Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Mint etc.
# 1. Install our official public software signing key:
curl https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | gpg --dearmor > signal-desktop-keyring.gpg
cat signal-desktop-keyring.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
# 2. Add our repository to your list of repositories:
curl -o signal-desktop.sources https://updates.signal.org/static/desktop/apt/signal-desktop.sources
cat signal-desktop.sources | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-desktop.sources > /dev/null
# 3. Update your package database and install Signal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
1. and 2. works but when running 3. I get:

How can I resolve this issue?
Wait for the mirror to finish updating. You are asking for packages while the mirror is updating.
How can you tell?
this message is pretty standard when you try to install in the middle of an mirror update:

OK. Thanks.
I mean, it's rare to hit one of those, but not impossible. If the issue continues then you might be facing something else.
But my bet is the above mentioned.
SOLVED
Ark74 was right. With patience the problem solved it self.
