Autoupdater not working in Ubuntu

sune

I thought I'd try out the new stable release 1.12.0 so I hit 'upgrade' when doomsday's autoupdater popped up. It downloaded OK, but when it tried to install it segfaulted

This is the last lines of the terminal output:

I tried checking the download dir but it didn't exist :-/

I'll try to download and upgrade manually instead. Let me know if I can provide more info on this issue.

Thanks for the report, I'll need to check if something is broken here on Ubuntu.

Note that you can always add one of the Doomsday repositories to your APT sources and get updates that way. In this scenario, you could just disable the runtime update checks.

APT source to add is:

deb http://code.iki.fi/builds/apt stable main

Change "stable" to "unstable" to get unstable/candidate builds.

The packages are signed with my key: http://code.iki.fi/builds/apt/doomsday-builds-key.asc

Thanks, skyjake. I actually did use the stable repo some time back, but had to disable it cause it kept pushing the unstable builds too. Guess I'll give it a go again

And while I have the opportunity, I'd like to thank you for the greatest Doom source-port i ever tried =D>
