From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Use arguments in shell script with apt (programming.dev)

Hi,

I would like to pass the arguments to apt trough a .sh script.

apt install "${1}/opensnitch_${1}_amd64.deb" "${1}/python3-opensnitch-ui_${1}_all.deb"

so for example if I launch test.sh 1.6.5 the script should run apt install 1.6.5/opensnitch_1.6.5_amd64.deb 1.6.5/python3-opensnitch-ui_1.6.5_all.deb

but it's not wokring it pass to apt only 1.6.5 and not the rest of the string... any ideas ?

I'd like to suggest that you take a different approach, though it looks like there is a workable suggestion already.

Consider using apt_preferences to pin your versions instead of scripting.

Here's a clip from one of my distrobox builds:

Package: python3.10
Pin: version 3.10.*
Pin-Priority: 999
