I am using Linux Mint 22.1.
The command I am using is:
Code
apt upgrade
I've encountered such problems before, and it's always with the OpenSUSE repository that houses new versions of Gambas. I forgot what I did the last time. The error message at the end of the output says to either, update the repository or type
Code
--fix-missing
but I did both without success.
Should I come back to it later?

Code
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/stable/xUbuntu_24.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:stable.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:stable/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_stable.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gambas3

somehow the security checks say the downloaded packages file sizes do not match.
errors like this for most packages…

Benoit needs to rebuild the packages but i think he is away at present.
As Cogier suggests though the stable branches seem okay so changing the "master" to "stable" in the links may work,
PS.
Remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list if you added "stable" using the echo command code,
You do not want to have sources for both master and stable
alternatively edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list and change the word "master" for "stable" inside it.
deb /repositories/home:/gambas:/stable/xUbuntu_24.04 - openSUSE Download /

Our best guess is that there was an error from the OpenSuse build service.
gambas is set to automatically build at 6:00 daily and for some odd reason it messed up the links for a couple of days.
all seems okay again now and Benoit did not rebuild anything, it just fixed itself :-\
