Hi,
Trying to install piaware on a Pi400 with Ubuntu 22 installed.
I wget the flightaware-apt-repository_1.1_all.deb file but when I dpkg it I get the error message:
No apt repository available for given architectures
…
Errors were encountered while processing:
flightaware-apt-repository
I did download Ubuntu 22 specifically for the Pi4, so cannot see why it is throwing up this issue.
Any pointers in the right direction would be most appreciated
Alexis
Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately I still get the same error when I do
sudo apt install piaware
I tried a remove of this software and then an install again but again same issue.
Also tried a reboot but again same issue
Built the packages from source code using following scripts. It is a lengthy process, and will take some time. Please be patient.
First remove my repository from your Ubuntu22/Pi400 by following commands:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list
sudo apt update
After above two commands, go to following page and run commands given there to run the scripts which will build dump1090-fa and piaware on your Pi400/Ubuntu22 using source code from Flightaware.
Please be patient while running these scripts. These scripts take some time to complete, as these first install build tool packages and dependecy packages before starting the actual package building and installing process.
NOTE:
Ubuntu 22 has a very annoying feature. After installing each and every package (build tools and dependencies), it pauses, lists few services, and asks if user wants to restart these. Installation wont move onwards unless user answers this question.
Since there are a large number of build tools and dependies required to be instaalled, this slows down the installation process, and forces user to stay glued to his computer for the full duration of installation.
This stupid feature is really annoying, and some wise 
guy at Ubuntu has inserted it in Ubuntu22. 
Sorry for the very late reply, I had to stop trying to install it and only managed to find the time to do it now, and hey presto, it worked just as you described. Thank you ever so much for all your help.
I must admit I never got any of the messages you described from Ubuntu. Perhaps they have since removed it. They certainly seem to be getting a lot of stick over their last version or two and how far behind other flavours of Linux they have fallen.
Maybe they had an ex MicroS%$t employee running things for a while>
but again, thanks for all your help.
