@PGSCOM You maight want to take a look at #185.

It says:

Add up the points and see what you get. Below are some special cases where points don't matter - the app is disqualified:

• The app is already available on APT.
• The app requires paying for something. Edit: What was I thinking? MC Java and MC Bedrock are already on here, and KSP is on the waiting list. I think they belong in Pi-Apps, despite costing money. This point is no longer valid.
• The app is illegal to distribute.

@Crilum is correct - Pi-Apps is solely for software that you can't install with a simple apt-get command.

This will change in the future though, and the infrastructure is ready-to-go. (it's just waiting for my signal... 😆)

👌

So, I actually just tried to install Filezilla, but sudo apt install filezilla has the normal package not found error, @PGSCOM are you able to/did you install just like that?

If it isn't in the Raspberry Pi repos, maybe we can make a Pi-Apps script for it.

[PGSCOM]

Yes, install it with sudo apt-get install filezilla

[Crilum]

I'm on RPiOS Bullseye 32-bit, what are you on?

$ sudo apt-get install filezilla
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package filezilla

[PGSCOM]

Also after all this happened I installed gimp in that way too and there was no problem, pi-apps worked perfectly

[PGSCOM]

I don’t think the filezilla installation was the cause of the problem

[Crilum]

Me neither, but now I'm curious why I can't install Filezilla.

[Crilum]

Like I said above:

$ sudo apt-get install filezilla

How many RAM do you have in your rpi4?

[Crilum]

How many RAM do you have in your rpi4?

4G, but that is not the problem. Could you send the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list? You might have an apt repo that I don't.

[Crilum]

I think I know what my problem is.. You have RPiOS buster, and I have RPiOS Bullseye. I'll look and see if the Bullseye repos have Filezilla.

[Crilum]

Does anyone here have/use 64-bit Bullseye? I'm trying to figure out if filezilla is in the default repos in Bullseye 64-bit.

[PGSCOM]

It exsist sudo apt-get install filezilla-common?

[PGSCOM]

Also I found this: https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/filezilla

[PGSCOM]

Another option would be to install Filezilla with Wine.

Does anyone here have/use 64-bit Bullseye? I'm trying to figure out if filezilla is in the default repos in Bullseye 64-bit.

I may try to make a virtual machine on my computer and try to install it.

[Crilum]

It exsist sudo apt-get install filezilla-common?

No, apperently not:

$ sudo apt-get install filezilla-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package filezilla-common

Also I found this: https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/filezilla

Yes, Debian has it in their repos, as well as the Raspberry Pi repos, but, it is not available for RPiOS Bullseye 32-bit. The 64-bit Buster version has the debian repos available automatically, so I was wondering whether 64-bit bullseye had it.

If you do, I recommend using vdesktop, which is available via the boot button in Pi Power Tools, which is available though Pi-Apps 😄. If you do use vdesktop, you'll have to add arm-64bit=1 in config.txt and reboot if you are using a 32-bit host..
If you already know all this, sorry! 😆

[PGSCOM]

Okay, I’ll do it tomorrow. My time zone is Spain, Madrid.

[PGSCOM]

@Crilum Have you tried installing FileZilla with wine?

[Botspot]

Weird. It's missing on my Bullseye system too.

[Botspot]

I figured it out: turns out that our install_packages function had a bug: if it was last used to install a local package for an app, it will ignore the repositories located in /etc/apt/sources.list. This bug triggered many error reports and is what made the filezilla package appear to be missing.

After running sudo apt update, the filezilla package should be installable. BTW this bug in install_packages has been fixed.

@Crilum is correct - Pi-Apps is solely for software that you can't install with a simple apt-get command.

I've rolled out package-app support and have added Filezilla now.
