What version of Debian you at, hopefully not:

...and, are we talking Telegram Desktop?

Sorry, I am going to change that in my profile,

Yes, telegram desktop

telegram-desktop 2.2.0 is available in Bullseye (Debian testing). Do Simple Backport Creation.

If that is still too old for you, telegram 2.5.1 is available as Ubuntu PPA for Bionic/Focal/Groove/Hirsute. Then do Create Package From PPA.

[QUOTE Then do Create Package From PPA.[/QUOTE]

trying to do so, but i get stuck at this point:

Quote:

Add a testing deb-src entries to your apt sources:

# Debian testing packages sources
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main

This is what i get from the terminal:

PHP Code:



deb-src: no s'ha trobat l'ordre

wich means: order hasn't been found

shruggy · 01-20-2021, 06:54 AM

Well, that line is from the Simple Backport Creation recipe. This is not a command to be entered in the terminal. That line should be put to the file /etc/apt/sources.list. On the Debian Wiki page, the words apt sources in the text you quoted are a link. Go to that link and read up.

A quick'n'dirty way to do what you want is

Code:

sudo sed -i '$a deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main' /etc/apt/sources.list

I tried that and nothing happens...

to be honest, i don't have any idea about how to do what you suggested (the other tips you gave me)

shruggy · 01-20-2021, 12:49 PM

Oops sorry, the command was wrong.
Now, please do

Code:

sudo sed -i '/^deb-src .* testing/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo sed -i '$a deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main' /etc/apt/sources.list

The first time I forgot the $.

This is Unix. "Nothing happens" means the positive answer: the command worked. After you're done with /etc/apt/sources.list, you can do the next step from that recipe:

Code:

sudo apt update

gerlinux · 01-20-2021, 05:11 PM

I have done everything that you suggested, but

Hi,

telegram-desktop 2.2.0 is already in buster-backports.

Code:

% rmadison -a amd64 telegram-desktop 
telegram-desktop | 1.1.23-1~bpo9+1    | stretch-backports | amd64
telegram-desktop | 1.5.11-1           | stable            | amd64
telegram-desktop | 2.2.0+ds-2~bpo10+1 | buster-backports  | amd64
telegram-desktop | 2.2.0+ds-5         | testing           | amd64
telegram-desktop | 2.2.0+ds-5         | unstable          | amd64

So just need a source like:

Code:

deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ buster-backports main

And then install with

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install telegram-desktop/buster-backports

Cheers,

Evo2.

2.5 is not here yet; use Alien and apk for e.g. or build it...
2.2 may do better depending on how you set Debian?
