Title: APTus is missing
Post by: Sawsmith on March 08, 2020, 03:32:02 PM
Hi folks - APTus, which is about the most useful utility known to man, has gone missing from my Apps menu. It was still showing as installed in Synaptic. I have tried to re-install but via the terminal but that is returning:  Package sparky-aptus is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'sparky-aptus' has no installation candidate.

HELP?

p.s. Everything else is as up to date as it can be.

sudo apt update
sudo apt policy sparky-aptus

You may have missed the change on repository, it's now on a different server, so the key has changed.

Quotemigration to a new, bigger vps done; make sure to install a new public key of Sparky repository

Thank you both for your speedy replies. I have installed Sparky 2020.03 and the problem has gone away, so far.
