Hello,

I am trying to resolve issue with libguava-java. The context is: I want to prepare build environment for calimero java libraries in NetBeans. Gradle installation failed with errors related to libguava-java. Also gradle --version fails.

Re: libguava-java (gradle)

It sometimes helps to run

apt-get update

to update your local meta files.

TL;DR; apt asks for particular versions of packages and it does not ask for "whatever is current right now" (as one might think it would do). The meta files tell "slices" of versions across packages that have been tested and shown to work together. Sometimes one would want apt to run "update" automatically upon install of packages, but I guess that would add code "unnecessarily"; anyone who wants update to be part of installing would simply do that themselves.

Sometimes though it's a neworking problem, or that the target server has a transient problem.
