Hello,
I was recently trying to install Calibre e-reader (http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux). Using wget as it recommends issues an error. I found an alternate method using curl -L. I took it to the debian support IRC channel, and Ben Armstrong (SynrG) advised to message debian-backports@lists.debian.org. Ben Armstrong confirmed it works on wget 1.15-1: <SynrG> ah <SynrG> ,v wget <judd> Package: wget on i386 -- squeeze: 1.12-2.1; wheezy: 1.13.4-3+deb7u1; jessie: 1.15-1; sid: 1.15-1 <SynrG> probably: <SynrG> wget (1.14-3) experimental; urgency=low <SynrG> * build with GNUTLS 3.2 (libgnutls28-dev) to fix some https problems. <SynrG> closes: #707555, #652480 <SynrG> i.e. jessie version is likely ok *he goes on to test it* <SynrG> michael_debian: yeah, 1.15-1 has no problem with: wget -nv -O- https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/raw/master/setup/linux-installer.py <SynrG> you can cite that forum post and mention i confirmed it for you on wget 1.15-1. mention me by name (see /whois synrg) Here is a forum post with the solution, and another linux user having a problem: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2791009#post2791009 Here are the official download instructions: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux So I guess I'm requesting a backport? I hope I'm doing this right. Michael Romero |
