Malformed Debian repository for Raspberry-Pi

Hello!

I'm trying to follow the operations everybody says working like a charm to get Tellstick work with Raspberry-Pi:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libftdi1

Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ stable main

wget http://download.telldus.se/debian/telldus-public.key
sudo apt-key add telldus-public.key
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install telldus-core
This seems to have broken lately though, or otherwise I am missing something. Everything is smooth up until the last command, which yields:

Code: Select all

W: Failed to fetch http://download.telldus.com/debian/dists/stable/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I think it's awesome to have a proper Debian repository for Telldus and Raspberry-Pi since they make such a perfect match. I read some fixing this by compilation. But working out of the box is way cooler!

Hope its an easy fix. Cheers!

Isak

The problem is that telldus have not compiled packages for hardware float that was introduced in Raspbian. Me and others have published guides before Raspbian was introduced. The software float that was in use before that is among the released build types by Telldus.
