Errors installing Nzbdrone on Ubuntu 14.04

so I’m attempting to install nzbdrone on ubuntu 14.04 and I keep running into the follow errors when I get to the “sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nzbdrone” part…

E: Type ‘Executing:’ is not known on line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read

to be clear… i run…

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FDA5DFFC
echo “deb http://update.nzbdrone.com/repos/apt/debian master main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

than attempt to run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nzbdrone

i’ve literally tried this 10 times …

the exact steps i’ve run are .

  1. open a terminal
  2. run
    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FDA5DFFC

echo “deb http://update.nzbdrone.com/repos/apt/debian master main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

  1. run
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install nzbdrone

it’s at that point i get an error at a line #

Sounds like your sources file is corrupt. I just installed drone on a brand new 14.04 vps to make sure it works.

ok so how to i fix that? reinstall ubuntu?

Check line 57 of that file, just open it in tour ediot of choice. Reinstall is a bit more drastic than you need I think.

registered to add my 2 cents…

i had the same problem… the thing comes cause the 2 commands need to be run separately. not together. when i first saw the command on the install tutorial thing i thought its got to be 1 line in terminal. it corrupts the sonarr.list then.

when run as 2 separate commands it works.


sudo su

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FDA5DFFC

echo "deb http://apt.sonarr.tv/ master main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonarr.list
