Issues with dcGmail

Post by CreeperSteve »

Hey everyone. I'm having a bit of trouble with dcGmail. I'm trying to install it, but it gets to "Missing postfix installing...[This may take a while]" and then it just... boots me back to the dollar sign. I have tried to install postfix manually, but that just gives me a "Package 'postfix' is not available" error. Can you guys help me out?

Have you tried again recently? Ill try to reinstall myself on my pi when im back home today and see what happens. Wonder if the server you tried downloading from was down at the time.

For some reason the package is missing even after updating everything. Postfix website is still good so im guessing his program got excluded on accident on latest apt updates. Ill ask shu to seevif he knows a work around for now.

The repository list is broken in the latest DreamPi image. I believe the original repository URL has been disabled (Stretch).

Causes problems when trying any new installation (sudo apt install), if is your case...
Happy if may help:

Ok found the solution. Looks like the repository 'http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch Release' got changed.

its now deb http://legacy.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi

Login to your Dreampi:, then type this and hit enter.

Code: Select all

 sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list 
Then change the first line to

Code: Select all

 deb http://legacy.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi 
press CTRL + X and then Type Y to save

Now you can run sudo bash /boot/dcgmail.sh


I'll see about getting an updated dcgmail.sh out to pcwzrd13 soon.
