jabref_5.0-1_amd64.deb is corrupt

[jkbsc]

This file

https://www.fosshub.com/JabRef.html?dwl=jabref_5.0-1_amd64.deb

will not install after I download it.

# apt install ./jabref_5.0-1_amd64.deb

reports that the metadata is not found.

Thanks,
John

Have you tried sudo dpkg -i path_to_deb_file?

[jkbsc]

Well, the dpkg command works better in that it claims to succeed but there is no executable present. Something odd has happened. I am using the portable version for now.

[Siedlerchr]

Hmm that's mysterious. Maybe the package was broken.
you could also use the snap version of JabRef (if you don't need libre office connexio)

[FossHub]

Can anyone from Jabref team confirm that the file signatures match? We upload what we receive from the team, but considering we replicate the files to multiple CDN providers, this could be a bug. The project manager should see the file signatures along with the virus scan results.

@jkbsc Dpes the file from our github release page works?

@jkbsc Does the file from our github release page works?

Same behaviour. It feels as if this version maybe works and there is something up with my configuration. I did a CRC check on the two files (Fosshub and the above) and they are identical.

[Siedlerchr]

Could you also please try the latest dev version?
https://builds.jabref.org/master/
if it doesn't work either, it seems something on your system is broken

[FossHub]

You just confirmed that the files are identical on FossHub and GitHub. At this point, the problem is not on our end. Thank you!

[jkbsc]

Agreed, something up with my configuration. Thanks for the help.
