[R-sig-Debian] getting started with r2u

[ravi]

Dirk,
Thanks for your help. I ran the command
sudo sh add_cranapt_noble.sh

This time, it proceeded well till it came to the following hurdle:
Execution halted
E: Unable to locate package python3-{dbus,gi,apt}
Error in loadNamespace(x) : there is no package called ‘bspm’
Calls: suppressMessages ... loadNamespace -> withRestarts -> withOneRestart -> doWithOneRestart

I ran 
ravi using ravi-P15xEMx:~/Downloads$ python3 --version
Python 3.12.3

What do I do about 
python3-{dbus,gi,apt}

How do I get dbus (and other packages?) installed? Why doesn't the script automatically take care of this? Is this a symptom that something else is also broken?
Thanks, Ravi

You use sudo here.

| ravi using ravi-P15xEMx:~/Downloads$ cd /home/ravi/Downloads
| 
| ravi using ravi-P15xEMx:~/Downloads$ sh add_cranapt_noble.sh

You are supposed to use sudo here, but do not do so.

Run as sudo. The documentation preceding the script steps clearly states

  You should run all these commands as `root` to carefully review each one.

(and I guess I meant 'so carefully review' not 'to', will fix). The scripts
from inst/scripts contain the header comment

  ## Note that you need to run this as root

Let us know how it goes.

Good luck, Dirk
