Is timelapse1090 updating correctly?

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

a bit of a dumb question – I have cron.monthly files that update a lot of @wiedehopf 's great Piaware packages.

Recently, whenever I run the timelapse1090 install script to check on updates
sudo bash -c "$(wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiedehopf/timelapse1090/master/install.sh)"
this is the output I get (potential error bolded):

By the “fix missing git package” does this mean that it can’t find the git package to install/update it, or is it just one of those linux warnings alerting me of potential problems in the future? The google didn’t help me b/c my linux knowledge isn’t that deep.

If I knew how to use github better than just read-only, I’d post something through there, but I know that @wiedehopf visits here every so often, and there are other smart linux people here too.

It’s Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, whatever the newest .x version is.

that shellscript is doing a git checkout; git briefly tells you the commit it updated to (“HEAD is now at …”). The “Fix missing git package” is just the commit comment (entered by a human when making the commit) associated with the commit it updated to. you can see it here: Fix missing git package · wiedehopf/timelapse1090@8eb023b · GitHub

in layperson’s terms, if I have git installed and timelapse installed then I don’t really need to worry about that error message, right?

It’s not an error message. You don’t need to worry about it.
