Update your Zoom client on Ubuntu with apt

I had some strange problems with Zoom provided as a snap package so i needed an alternative.
With this script you get your Zoom updates with your regular system updates.

Save it and run it once with bash yourscript.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
url=https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_amd64.deb
debdir=/usr/local/zoomdebs
aptconf=/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/100update_zoom
sourcelist=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoomdebs.list
sudo mkdir -p $debdir
( echo 'APT::Update::Pre-Invoke {"cd '$debdir' && wget -qN '$url' && apt-ftparchive packages . > Packages && apt-ftparchive release . > Release";};' | sudo tee $aptconf
  echo 'deb [trusted=yes lang=none] file:'$debdir' ./' | sudo tee $sourcelist
) >/dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zoom

To remove it run these commands:

sudo apt remove zoom
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoomdebs.list
sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/zoomdebs

#ubuntu #zoom #updates #apt

GNU Linux Debian 11 (bullseye) - example for https enabled /etc/apt/sources.list (including contrib and non-free)

this is a sample-example apt sources.list, because the perfect sources.list it is science for itself :) (this is not an perfect sources.list but one that was tested and works) right now not including non-free would mean lenovo laptop users can use LAN[...]

GNU Linux Debian - apt package management - what does this two-letter-package-status mean anyway? (ii rc)

Description of each field

As you can see from the first three lines:

First letter -> desired package state (“selection state”):

  • u – means: Unknown (an unknown state)
  • i – means: Install (marked for installation)
  • r – means: Remove (marked for removal)
  • p – means: Purge (marked for purging means: also config files will be removed)
  • h – means: put on hold (will not be updated-upgraded)

Second letter -> current package state:

  • n – means: the package is not installed
  • i – means: the package is installed (success! 🙂
  • c – means: config-files (only the config files are installed)
  • u – means: the package is unpacked (?)
  • f – means: half-configured (configuration failed for some reason (failed to remove configuration files?))
  • h – means: half-installed (installation failed for some reason) -> use this script for nice debugging
  • w – means: triggers-awaited (package is waiting for a trigger from another package)
  • t – means: triggers-pending (package has been triggered)

Third letter -> error state (you normally shouldn’t see a third letter, but a space, instead):

  • R – means: reinst-required (package broken, reinstallation required)

the combinations:

  • ii – means: ‘It should be installed and it is installed’ whereas
  • rc – means: ‘It’s removed/uninstalled but it’s configuration files are still there’

#Debian : #apt-key obsolète depuis 2020. Comment faire pour gérer correctement l'ajout des clés #GPG, maintenant, pour l'utilisation avec #apt ?!

Ce sujet "collaboratif" tente d'apporter une réponse viable, facile à comprendre, bien que légèrement compliquée pour un débutant :

PS : Pour rappel, apt-key n'existera plus après Debian 11 !
