Package magically gone (qutebrowser)

[bertalanp99]

Hello everyone!

I have run into a strange little problem today. I have previously been using www/qutebrowser on my computer. I used it just yesterday. When I came home today and booted my system, it was magically gone. Perhaps I am just retarded and uninstalled it, so I tried installing, but for some reason I cannot find the package any more. It is there on FreshPorts, still.

➜ doas pkg install qutebrowser

pkg: No packages available to install matching 'qutebrowser' have been found in
the repositories

I have tried # pkg update, even with the force option. No dice.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Ah, thank you, good to know!

Apparently I did deinstall the package... Ahem. I am still confused as to why I cannot install it anymore?

Haven't checked the exact details but it's possible the port fails to build at the moment. When that happens a package will go missing on the repositories.

www/qutebrowser has a dependence on www/py-qt5-webengine, which is marked as broken since november. So our beloved qutebrowser has gone missing with the 2019Q1 branch.

We actually have to wait until the true culprit www/qt5-webengine gets updated. Its current version in ports is not compatible with the updated py-qt5-webengine.

You might find a cached package file for it in /var/cache/pkg

Is it possible to install a previous version? I tried pkg install qutebrowser-1.4.2 for example, but it says no packages have been found in the repositories. I suppose only the most recent versions are there?

I have /var/cache/pkg/qutebrowser-1.4.2-6730dd2dd9.txz there, but how am I supposed to install it? I couldn't find relevant info in pkg-install(8).

pkg add /var/cache/pkg/qutebrowser-1.4.2.txz (not qutebrowser-1.4.2-6730dd2dd9.txz)
