    Hello,

    I tried downloading ToneLib Metal, but the package seems to be broken for a long time now and it doesn't seem like a fix is coming too soon.

    I just switched to linux a few months ago and I'm not that savvy. Is there any way one could still install it? Or is there any older version I could download?

    @cacao74 Thanks for the answer!

    I got ToneLib GFX working, also with a dummy package.

    ToneLib Metal is a different problem:

    The download link seems to be broken. I tried redownloading a couple of times, but it's always the same. Also tried opening it with root and sudo but still the same error. I know you can open a .deb file like an archive, but I don't know what to do with the files inside it. Or if you still have your working ToneLib-Metal.deb, could you maybe upload it somewhere (if it's allowed)?

    I do not use graphical interface to install packages, I like the command line.

    Try this two things:
    - verify that your package is not corrupted by checking its MD5 signature
    $ md5sum ToneLib-Metal-amd64.deb
    8dac954d1324b51fe59e05ba1eaf1229 ToneLib-Metal-amd64.deb

    - after that, with sudo, try to install the package
    $ sudo apt install ToneLib-Metal-amd64.deb

    Thank you very much, it worked!

    I used sudo dpkg -i ToneLib-Metal-amd64.deb and it just installed with no problems.
