"Unable to locate package subsurface" in ubuntu

[Manolis Darakis]

Just to let you know that there seems to be something wrong with the Ubuntu PPA.

In order to move to the latest rolling release, I removed the old subsurface snap from my ubuntu system and I successfully added the daily PPA. I then updated apt but when I try to install subsurface I keep getting "Unable to locate package subsurface" error.

All these in a fully updated Ubuntu 23.10 system.

~$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:subsurface/subsurface-daily

Returns (among others):

Found existing deb entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/subsurface-ubuntu-subsurface-daily-mantic.sources

~$sudo apt update

Returns (among others):

Hit:4 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/subsurface/subsurface-daily/ubuntu mantic InRelease

All packages are up to date.

And then:

~$ sudo apt install subsurface
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
No apt package "subsurface", but there is a snap with that name.
Try "snap install subsurface"
E: Unable to locate package subsurface

 My apologies up in front in case I am doing something wrong (which is something quite probable).

Cheers

This is very strange...

So that sounds about right (I don't have a 23.10 system, I tend to stick with LTS versions, but on the surface

~$sudo apt update

It would possibly say that if you haven't installed Subsurface from that PPA, yet.

And then:

~$ sudo apt install subsurface
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
No apt package "subsurface", but there is a snap with that name.
Try "snap install subsurface"
E: Unable to locate package subsurface

And that's what I don't get - because for me it then immediately offers to install the Subsurface package and its dependencies.

What do you see when you check the app info:

$ sudo apt info subsurface

Description: Dive log program

 Subsurface is an open source divelog program that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

 Subsurface is able to track single- and multi-tank dives using air, Nitrox or

 TriMix. It also allows logging of weights and exposure protection used, dive

 masters and dive buddies and enables the user to rate dives and provide

 additional dive notes.

Does it look similar (with different versions, of course)?

What do you get when you run

ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/*subsurface*subsurface-daily*Packages

cat /var/lib/apt/lists/*subsurface*subsurface-daily*Packages

awk '$1 == "Package:" { if (a[$2]++ == 0) print $2; }' /var/lib/apt/lists/*subsurface*subsurface-daily*Packages

Hopefully that will shed some light on the issue...

Here we go:

$ sudo apt info subsurface

N: Unable to locate package subsurface
N: Unable to locate package subsurface
E: No packages found

And

$ ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/*subsurface*subsurface-daily*Packages

cat /var/lib/apt/lists/*subsurface*subsurface-daily*Packages

It does explain a lot.
For Mantis it's not showing a Subsurface package, yet when I looked at the build log, it looked like the build completed.

I need to dig into this some more why it's not published.

Thanks for the additional details.

Ok, I found the issue and fixed it. If you run `apt update` now it should find the subsurface package.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
