Linux Mint: apt-get Legacy Utility Command
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
@bryceml can you please check that my syntax is correct? from lines 
- 28 to 49
- 81 to 116

**Reasons for these changes**

1. Linux Mint still uses apt-get out-of-the-box instead of Apt.
issue: cromat@9deb4bc.

2. Realised through this link (https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=274477) that same may happen to Linux Mint 19 installs with regards to the libcurl3 to 4 issue (#5).

checked where packages are downloaded from - resulted to be from ubuntu
- https://www.rootusers.com/check-which-linux-mint-version/
checked whether Linux Mint releases have two decimal places like ubuntu 18.*04* - resulted negative
thus, had to change *cut -c -2* to *cut -c -1* in line 38.

Rather than duplicating the entire code blocks, you could extend the if statement

if [ "$(. /etc/os-release ; echo $ID)" == "ubuntu" ] && [ "$(echo $(. /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION_ID)|cut -c -2)" -ge 18 ] || [ "$(. /etc/os-release ; echo $ID)" == "linuxmint" ] && [ "$(echo $(. /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION_ID)|cut -c -1)" -ge 19 ]

if the blocks of code inside the if statement is the same.

I haven't looked at if the cut works correctly, if you want to post a copy of /etc/os-release from linux mint somewhere so I don't have to make a box for it, I could check it pretty easily.

also, you should be able to change apt to apt-get anywhere.

cut grabs that many off of the first of the line
from the cut man page

-M from first to M'th (included) byte, character or field

I tested it with the example they had at that link and it requires cut -c -2

echo $(. /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION_ID)|cut -c -1
1

echo $(. /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION_ID)|cut -c -2
18

Thanks for chiming in, Bryce.

Typical etc/release output for Linux Mint would be:

rootusers@vm ~ $ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="18.1 (Serena)"
ID=linuxmint
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 18.1"
VERSION_ID="18.1"
VERSION_CODENAME=serena

About apt and apt-get, I was keeping it because of older distros not having apt (pre-16.04).
In hindsight, I doubt older computers of versions earlier than 16.04 have the ability to run ePSXe smoothly...
So, maybe I ought to revert back to apt.

> I tested it with the example they had at that link and it requires cut -c -2

So for Mint which versions are numbered without the 0 (like in Ubuntu (16.04, 18.04), I still need cut -c -2 ?

Thank you once again, mate.

echo $(. /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION_ID)|cut -c -1
1

echo $(. /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION_ID)|cut -c -2
18

Now I realise....

So the following should work...

if [ "$(. /etc/os-release ; echo $ID)" == "ubuntu" ] && [ "$(echo $(. /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION_ID)|cut -c -2)" -ge 18 ] || [ "$(. /etc/os-release ; echo $ID)" == "linuxmint" ] && [ "$(echo $(. /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION_ID)|cut -c -2)" -ge 19 ]

Foolproofing the code

Say that problem ( #5 ) persists for Ubuntu version 19.04 and 19.10 and 20.xx (and Linux Mint 20.x) etc, how would we go about this?

Cheers, @bryceml

It should continue to work, the only worry is in 4-5 years when the package version of libcurl will move from archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com. The check "-ge" makes sure the version number is greater than, or equal.
