Can't install on latest Raspbian (Bullseye) with apt

Hi,

I’ve followed the instructions to install it, but when I run sudo apt-get install wsdd, it returns E: Package 'wsdd' has no installation candidate. I can manually install it by cloning the repo, or by downloading the deb file from https://pkg.ltec.ch/public/pool/main/w/wsdd/ manually. I’m running a Raspberry Pi 4 with the latest Raspbian, based on Bullseye.

1. Added the source

   $ sudo cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wsdd.list
   
   deb https://pkg.ltec.ch/public/ bullseye main
   

2. Run apt update -> source gets read (See hits 6 and 7)

   $ sudo apt update

I noticed you have an issue where you exactly follow these steps and manage to install it (https://github.com/christgau/wsdd/issues/127#issuecomment-1024905747). Has something changed since then?

Thanks!

I tried on a clean installation of Raspbian Bullseye and it works perfectly fine, so it’s clear that it’s something to do with my upgrade.

I noticed that on the fresh install, sources.list contained

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

# Uncomment deb-src lines below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

While the Raspberry instance that can’t find the package only contains these lines

deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi

The install guide I followed (from the raspberry pi forums) said to change all the instances of Buster to Bullseye, which I did, but I can’t explain why there’s a difference in the repo list.

In any case, copying the sources.list to my “updated” raspberry OS installation (and downloading the necessary keys) didn’t help either.

I suspected that when my raspberry checks the repo, provides some info (like architechture) that is not what the repo expects, and then thinks that there’s no package?

I ran uname -m and there you go

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -m
armv7l

I’m running Bullseye on 32 bit, not 64. That’s the issue, isn’t it?

It looks I’ll have to reinstall from scratch in the end. At least I learned something.

Thanks for your support guys, you went above and beyond!!!

Thanks Brandon for your input, but for the life of me, I just can’t install it with apt

@blthayer, did you update to Bullseye from Buster or installed it from scratch?
