fslint on Ubuntu 20.04

[bbneo]

Can anybody give me guidance on getting fslint working on Ubuntu 20.04?

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and found to my surprise when trying to clean up the drives that fslint has been deprecated... apparently needs some deprecated Python2 libraries (or the code needs to be updated to Python 3?)...

Anyway... found some guidance on Stack Exchange, but I don't have enough reputation points to ask followup questions there.

The Python 3 update may be the only option.

• It is not presented in 20.04 LTS repositories because Python 2 deprecated stuff, but you can install it manually:

mkdir -p ~/Downloads/fslint
cd ~/Downloads/fslint
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-glade2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fslint/fslint_2.46-1_all.deb

sudo apt-get install ./*.deb

• and enjoy.

You now get a 404 for python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb from line 3 of the script.  The same is true for line 4 and 5 of script.

All wgets return 404.

Have you considered rmlint instead?
