| Summary | 0003044: unable to download openfoam5 from reprository | ||||
| Description | Following the instructions on https://openfoam.org/download/5-0-ubuntu/ adding the openfoam reprository seems to work, but the installation fails, telling me (translated the lines into english): reading list of packages... finished building dependancy tree reading status information... finished E: package openfoam5 cannot be found | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Enter the following lines into the commandline: sudo sh -c "wget -O - http://dl.openfoam.org/gpg.key | apt-key add -" sudo add-apt-repository http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install openfoam5 | ||||
| Additional Information | Installing openfoam6 on my computer caused no problems. | ||||

I am able to reproduce the error. @Chris: I believe the problem is because a line break is missing in the files http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages* - namely missing here, above "Package": advantage of today's multi-core processors and multi-processor computers. Package: openfoam6 Version: 20180710 ---- @ChrisiMW: In the meantime, you can install it by running the following commands: cd wget http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/openfoam5_20180529_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i openfoam5_20180529_amd64.deb sudo apt-get install -f sudo dpkg-reconfigure openfoam5 Then in the end, you can delete the Deb package: rm openfoam5_20180529_amd64.deb |

@wyldckat: Thanks, the alternative installation method worked. |
