Cannot find Distrobox [Solved]

[barnowl981]

Hi to all,
I've recently installed Mint 21.3, and I can't get Distrobox, apt doesn't find it. Since I believe it should be present in standard repository, what I'm missing?

sources.list:

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com virginia main upstream import backport 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-security main restricted universe multiverse

I tried to switch between different mirrors, without any success.

Otherwise, in your opinion, it's safe to obtaining it from git?

Thanks in advance

Distrobox will be available on Linux Mint 22 mid this year. It is not available in the repositories of older Linux Mint releases.

On older Linux Mint releases I think you can install Distrobox by adding their PPA to your system: https://launchpad.net/~michel-slm/+arch ... /distrobox. In the Software Sources program you can add ppa:michel-slm/distrobox and after a refresh you should then be able to apt install distrobox

Thank you.
I hadn't found anything about it on the web. I thought it was included in the standard repositories
