Can't install CC on Ubuntu Xenial

[kevingobron]

Hello,

I'm a French student who would like to try CC on Ubuntu 16.04
I'm also completely new on ubuntu.

I tried to install CC with the commands on this page : https://bintray.com/ornis/CloudCompare/ ... dmore#read

e.g.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/ornis/CloudCompare xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cloudcompare

but ...

Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
E: Failed to fetch https://dl.bintray.com/ornis/CloudCompa ... al/Release No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/dl.bintray.com_ornis_CloudCompare_dists_xenial_Release which is considered strong enough for security purposes
E: Le téléchargement de quelques fichiers d'index a échoué, ils ont été ignorés, ou les anciens ont été utilisés à la place.

I don't understand why there is a "fail to fetch" :(

Thank you in advance !

Hello,
I sadly join this topic : I encountered exactly the same issue on two machines on Ubuntu 16.04.
Same GPG key added.
Same deb URL in /etc/apt/sources.list
and same error message from apt-get update.

From this page : https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Apt/Sha1Removal
It seems that the problem is based on the owner side of the repository...

Thus, the latest stable CC is no more usable on Linux for those who don't want to compile it from scratch.

I would really appreciate any update about this hash problem and I'm sure we two are not alone ! ;)

Thanks a lot for the great job !

Hi there,

I've found a workaround to install version 2.6.3 ; but 2.7 is still not available for Linux on Bintray :-(

First, install dependencies :
$ sudo apt-get install libavifile-0.7c2 ocl-icd-libopencl1 libshp2 libvxl1.17v5

Then download the deb here : https://dl.bintray.com/ornis/CloudCompa ... udcompare/ for example the "cloudcompare_2.6.3-0xenial1_amd64.deb" file.

After that, move to the the directory where you downloaded the file, and finally :
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

CloudCompare Version: 2.6.3 [Linux 64 bits] should be in your dashboard now.
