[BUG]cannot install it in Sparky OS (debian)

[dduran1210]

*enter this in terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:christian-boxdoerfer/fsearch-stable

I get this 👍

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:christian-boxdoerfer/fsearch-stable

Works fine here (Ubuntu 22.04).

Simple workaround: download the corresponding .deb-file from launchpad and install it via dpkg.

Hello again,

forget my posting above. Won't work, cause Debian != Ubuntu, so you'll run into trouble using the .deb-file from launchpad.
Instead use the official Debian backport of fsearch. Just tested it successfully on a fresh Sparky VM-installation.

Also keep in mind, that you're aforementioned issue is not directly related to fsearch, but rather to the python-script (add-apt-repository). As far as I know it works with Ubuntu-based distribution only.

Happy (f)searching! ;-)
