Installation Instructions not working with debian 11 (under WSL2)

[jonnsn]

Both instructions for debian did not work for me.

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitlab-ci-local.sources https://gitlab-ci-local-ppa.firecow.dk/gitlab-ci-local.sources
sudo apt-get update

leads to

E: Invalid value set for option Signed-By regarding source https://gitlab-ci-local-ppa.firecow.dk/ ./ (not a fingerprint)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

curl -s "https://gitlab-ci-local-ppa.firecow.dk/pubkey.gpg" | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://gitlab-ci-local-ppa.firecow.dk ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitlab-ci-local.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gitlab-ci-local

leads to

dpkg-deb: error: Archive »/var/cache/apt/archives/gitlab-ci-local_4.42.0_amd64.deb« uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up

Expected behavior
gitlab-ci-local should be installed

Host information
Debian 11 under WSL2

Hmmm....
I'll try it out, give me moment...

I completely uninstalled gitlab-ci-local and removed ppa from /etc/apt/sources.d

Ran the following installation script

mjn@mjn-laptop:~$ curl -s "https://gitlab-ci-local-ppa.firecow.dk/pubkey.gpg" | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://gitlab-ci-local-ppa.firecow.dk ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitlab-ci-local.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gitlab-ci-local
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
OK

Works fine on Ubuntu 22.04.

I'll have to read up on debian 11 apt, will be a while.

Thanks for looking!

I tried searching for the errors I got and some resources said that one cause for the error with the second method could be that using Ubuntu PPA on debian will not work. Debian 12 seems to have added zst Support though, maybe it might work then.

You can install nodejs and use npm install -g gitlab-ci-local for now
