installing pd-extended in bunsen labs fails

I wanted to install pd-extended via the way described here

but when i put

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases `lsb_release -c | awk '{print $2}'` main"

I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 167, in <module>
sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 105, in __init__

(self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for BunsenLabs/Hydrogen

is this a specific problem from pd-extended, not having a template for the distro? or something else? thanks!

Is there are particular reason for adding an external repository, when all those packages appear to be in the Stable repos already?

You should be able to apt-get them directly from Debian.

I cant find pd-extended, the extended version of pure data , in the repos.. just the "vanilla" pure data and the extras.. therefore i thought i have to add an external repo.. but maybe there s also just a .deb of pd-extended somewhere.?

Ok i think that worked, I added

# Debian/wheezy
 deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases wheezy main

to the sources.list and installed without problems.. hope this is a correct way to do it without breaking anything? the repo of puredate just includes the pd-extended and tkdnd

# apt-get install software-properties-common

Far be it from me to disparage old software and/or hardware, but the most recent Debian release mentioned on that page is (EDIT2: I see the most recent release listed on that site is actually Wheezy/Oldstable). Is there any way to do what you want with more recent software? EDIT: Unless you're comfortable wit Debian's "sloppy" backports from older releases, you probably want something built for Jessie.

EDIT3: There's a good chance the functionality you're looking for has been folded into either puredata, puredata-core, puredata-extra, or one or more of their recommends. Perhaps try installing from the Debian repos and see if everything just works?

@ pvsage true, it s quite outdated.. just installed the pd-extended old stable but it seems to be buggy.. i try your suggestion and just install vallia puredata with the extra libraries, hope this will be more stable... also see they have a problem porting everything to 64bit.. so the best would be getting a recent 32bit version to run on my 64bit machine? Thanks!

It's a problem of the {gtk,kde}-software-properties Python program not having a template for a distro called 'BunsenLabs' but only 'Debian' or 'Ubuntu'. If you want to continue using the programs from that family (it's Ubuntu software, blame them), see here for the solution.

Where might this template is?

just a little update on this, finally i managed to install pd-l2ork, which is a special and more stable version of pd-extended following these steps here

http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/make-you … /software/

it s compiled for ubuntu but works stable and smooth --
