No package metadata was found for informant

I tried to install linux63 in the kernel GUI - but it failed.

The following packages will be installed:
linux63
linux63-headers
linux63-virtualbox-host-modules

Done ...

Also Pyradio-git failed - and I can’t build or install either pyradio-git or pyradio :frowning:

Remove informant, update then try again.

Ok.

Upgrade includes octopi, I forgot that was installed… so I removed that, haven’t used it in a while.

Doing a cleanbuild worked!

Thank you ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)
