The add-apt-repositroy command is missing from Deepin 15 RC. I googled on it and fount that if it's missing i have to install the python-software-properties package which i did, but there is still no add-apt-repository command. I also installed apt-file command to find add-apt-repository but when i update it's cache with apt-file update, this happens:

Copy the Code

How can i install that command?

Hi Folks.

I noticed in the Softpedia post http://news.softpedia.com/news/b ... allery-498074.shtml  that Deepin 15 RC is Debian SID based now (not Ubuntu) so no PPA's, and by default it does not have any debian repos in its sources list, you have to add them manually...  i did  and its working fine.
No debian repos is also the reson apt-get does not work as it,  NO REPOS by default..

PS
I added the Debian Testing repos...  Works fine.

gene@deepin:~$ inxi -r
Repos:    Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
         deb [by-hash=force] http://packages.deepin.com/deepin unstable main contrib non-free
         deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free #"Deb-Testing"
         deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free #"Deb-Secur."

Please disregard my post above. It seems i was wrong and the debian repos are included in the default deepin repo. It just they are so slow it takes time (long time) for them to appear...

Try this

1.- sudo apt-get update
2.- sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

you can make a backup of your file :: /etc/lsb-release
3.- sudo cp /etc/lsb-release /etc/lsb-release-backup

4.- gksudo gedit /etc/lsb-release
Edit the file :

DISTRIB_ID=Deepin
DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.1.1
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Deepin 15.1.1 "

And replace for this

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.1.1
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Deepin 15.1.1 "

Save the file

5.- sudo apt-get update
6.- you can now add your repository and update

Hi, Welcome to the Deepin Forum. Deepin no longer supports PPA's. If the software is of high quality they will consider adding the source. Please see this Post for Contributing to Deepin Store.
