Re: [SOLVED] Skype, snap and how to run on Devuan?

Sure:

root@apollo-slink:~# apt install apt-transport-https
bash: apt: command not found

'apt-get' does exist, but as it's name implies it only works when "getting" packages from the repositories.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

Then I admit, I used the method for lazy users.
Using cli I just received a certificate.
I added the line

deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.rug.nl/ppa/mirror/repo.skype.com/deb stable main

and then just use the mouse in the synaptic.

Fun fact, synaptic (2001) predates the introduction of the 'apt' command (2014). Also: mouse? where? *meow* I see no mouse (any more).

Thanks aluma for sorting this out in a debian/debian manner with

deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.rug.nl/ppa/mirror/repo.skype.com/deb stable main
