3.0.0Beta1 installed, not sure why I got a beta version?

[clm000]

I'm running Ubuntu Bionic (18.04LTS). I setup the nobetas repository (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/nobetas). I ran apt-get update/upgrade and somehow got the 3.0.0Beta1 version of Sabnzbdplus installed. I thought I should "receive only final stable releases". Below is an "ls" of my /etc/apt/sources.list.d for reference. I'm not the strongest Ubuntu admin/user so it is probably a simple mistake on my part, but any help would be appreciated. I hope this topic is in the right place, pardon me if it is not.

I would say the "jcfp-ubuntu-ppa-bionic" is the mainstream PPA, which is with beta's. See https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... buntu-repo

Indeed you have also included jcfp-ubuntu-nobetas-bionic, but I guess that because the main PPA offers a newer SABnzbd (3.x), that is installed.

FWIW: I would say you're better off with 3.0.0-beta2, than with the old SAB 2.x.

BTW: my guess is that the command below shows the PPA that was used: "jcfp_ppa_ubuntu"

Code: Select all

sander@brixit:~$ apt-cache showpkg sabnzbdplus | head -5
Package: sabnzbdplus
Versions: 
3.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu1~jcfp1~18.04 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_jcfp_ppa_ubuntu_dists_bionic_main_binary-amd64_Packages) (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_jcfp_ppa_ubuntu_dists_bionic_main_binary-i386_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)
 Description Language: 
                 File: /var/lib/apt/lists/nl.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_bionic_multiverse_binary-amd64_Packages

Thank you very much for the help, greatly appreciated and you are correct about apt-cache output showing mainstream PPA (with Beta's) explaining the upgrade. I looked at the 3.0Beta2 changes and I guess your probably right (python 2 is old). This system was installed as Xenial (16.04LTS), then upgraded to Bionic. There are xenial PPA's listed still (e.g. jcfp-ubuntu-nobetas-xenial.list, jcfp-ubuntu-sab-addons-xenial.list.distUpgrade, jcfp-ubuntu-nobetas-xenial.list.save, etc.). Can/should I just remove all the existing PPA's with xenial along with all the jcfp-ubuntu-nobetas... PPA's using add-apt-repository --remove to effectively clean up my PPA list? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Oh, you're right.

I just remove PPA hard-core by removing the file or line in /etc/apt/ ...
