Astrometry.net NO longer maintained

Astrometry.net NO longer maintained was created by Jasem Mutlaq

Just heads up. Since astrometry.net was previously not available for Debian/Ubuntu, I made a PPA for it. But now Debian maintains the astrometry.net which is great (less headache for me), so I removed my astrometry.net PPA, you can install it directly from Debian/Ubuntu.

I'm not a Linux adept yet, but if I did fill in to use a PPA for it, should I now fix something? :)

Yes. Now when you run the update manager, you will get errors due to the PPA no longer being valid. You need to delete or disable these PPAs as a software source.

I use synaptic, so this is a matter of going in and deselecting the appropriate software source. I don't know how to do this from the command line.

Edit: by the way, I've looked through packages in the Ekos VM and can't find anything named "astronomy.net". Is there a new software source we should add? What am I missing?

Thanks.

So how is the PPA called? I deleted astrometry.net and kstars (as it was dependant on it apparently), but still get the error.

Sorry for being a noob. :)

You do not need to remove astrometry.net! Just the PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:mutlaqja/astrometry.net

Interestingly I couldn't find it using synaptic. Ok, working now! Thanks
