Error from "init-server.py http-host-static" on Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) - "Unable to locate package ctop"

[richardparker]

When doing the initial self-hosted install on a clean Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) server using the "init-server.py http-host-static" command, the latest code gives a "Unable to locate package ctop" error. Prior to commit 8e58957 init-server.py worked fine on a clean Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) server. The issue appears to be in the relatively recent edit that added of a bunch of new package dependencies in pkg_base.py‎, including 'ctop'.

On a clean Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) server 'ctop' is not available to install, e.g.

# apt install ctop
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package ctop

I'm using the Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) image provided by DigitalOcean, if it matters.

Commenting out the 'ctop' package in 'pkg_list' fixes the error.

Thanks for the report. I was merging working on the init scripts, it seems that Ubuntu 24 doesn't have ctop then. Is it only this single package? Everything else works on 24.04 LTS otherwise? I'll remove it if so.

Yes, it was only 'ctop' that failed. After commenting out the 'ctop' package I was able to successfully install using "init-server.py http-host-static".
