I'm trying to install the handbrake CLI onto my debian(wheezy) server. I've tried to imitate an answer here but it is not working.

I've added deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main to the sources list in /etc/apt/sources.list

and got the output after running an apt-get update and the actual install command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install handbrake

but I receive the following errors:

user@web:~$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
user@web:~$ sudo apt-get update

Can anyone help me with a solution? Forgive me as i'm trying to get to grips with CLI's!

  • That can't be everything. Please also show us the contents of any files in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`. Also show us the errors you are getting now. – terdon Sep 29 '15 at 12:23
  • sources.list.d doesn't exist – cwiggo Sep 29 '15 at 12:38
  • @terdon i've added the latest errors – cwiggo Sep 29 '15 at 12:41
  • OK, you still haven't removed the PPA, that's the source of some of the errors. If you have no `sources.list.d`, I'm not sure where you have it. Try running `grep -RH ppa /etc/apt/`. That should show you which file points to the PPA. I also don't understand why you're using `wheezy-backports` in the first place. Why not just `apt-get install handbrake`? – terdon Sep 29 '15 at 12:43
  • @terdon I was researching and a lot of sources say that there is not a convenient way of installing handbrake cli to a debian wheezy setup. – cwiggo Sep 29 '15 at 12:45
  • @terdon the result of `grep -RH ppa /etc/apt/` is : `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/stebbins-handbrake-releases-wheezy.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-releases/ubuntu wheezy main /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stebbins-handbrake-releases-wheezy.list:deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-releases/ubuntu wheezy main` – cwiggo Sep 29 '15 at 12:46
  • Then `sources.list.d` exists, why did you say it didn't? It would be much easier to debug this in [chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/26/unix-and-linux), come ping me there. – terdon Sep 29 '15 at 12:48

You have a number of issues here.

  1. Debian doesn't support Ubuntu PPAs. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the PPA.

  2. You have duplicate entries. Either in /etc/apt/sources.list or in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. You need to edit the file and remove the duplicates for deb-multimedia.org. Run grep -H deb-multimedia /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d and delete one of the dupes.

  3. You have a typo. Note the error:

    E: The value 'wheezy-backgports' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

    You meant backports, not backgports.
