Overview

# nala

a wrapper for the apt package manager.

# installation

Install the Volian Scar repo and then install Nala

/dev/null $ sudo apt update && sudo apt install nala ">

$ echo "deb http://deb.volian.org/volian/ scar main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/volian-archive-scar-unstable.list
$ wget -qO - https://deb.volian.org/volian/scar.key | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/volian-archive-scar-unstable.gpg > /dev/null

If you want to add the source repo

$ echo "deb-src http://deb.volian.org/volian/ scar main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/volian-archive-scar-unstable.list

There isn't a documentation site setup at the moment, but our man page explains things well enough for now.

Don't print stacktrace on standard error

In the case of missing root or missing arguments all the stack is printed then the error message. Only the error message would be useful for standard known errors

From:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Call stack:
  File "/build/nala-Skdmi8/nala-0.5.0/nala-cli.py", line 32, in <module>
  File "/build/nala-Skdmi8/nala-0.5.0/nala/__main__.py", line 209, in main
  File "/build/nala-Skdmi8/nala-0.5.0/nala/__main__.py", line 54, in _main

Some packages are installed/removed at each upgrade

Hi!

I am trying since some weeks nala and love it so far, thanks for what you've done!

I noticed an issue happening when using nala (but not with apt):

When asking nala to upgrade the system with nala upgrade -y, it removes some packages. When asking nala to upgrade again the system, it installs these packages again. And if I ask to upgrade again, it will remove again these packages and so on...

Here is an asciinema to illustrate what I mean: https://asciinema.org/a/KFGsizfPTSFjbcOy9Ag9VeeQg

If you find a way to avoid this, that would be awesome!

Thanks.

fetch action should allow dry-run without writing nala-sources.list

Hello,

From my point of view fetch action should implement --dry-run option to only determine and display best servers without writing nala-sources.list file.

Thanks for such useful app! Milosz

Can't upgrade from 0.7.2 to 0.8.1
Hi!

When trying to upgrade nala to last version from nala's ppa I get the following error:

The following packages were kept back: nala └── Depends: └── python3-typer is only referenced by name, no packages provides it

I am on Pop_OS! 21.10.

Edit: I upgraded Pop_OS! to 22.04 and Nala 0.8.1 installed properly on it. So maybe it's an issue specific to older versions of Ubuntu like distros.

Edit 2: I also read on Reddit that nala-legacy is the way to install nala on older debian versions, I guess it's probably bound to this issue.
