Can't install tvheadend from official repo

Cutter

I'm trying to install tvheadend from the official tvheadend repo on a RPi 5 running Debian Trixie.

I've run the script: curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/tvheadend/tvheadend/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash and the file tvheadend-tvheadend.list has been added to /etc/apt/sources.list.d. However, apt search tvheadend only finds Debians's older tvheadend package. The URL from the tvheadend repo does not open in a browser. I've run sudo apt update. Is the URL dead ?

The file /var/lib/apt/lists/dl.cloudsmith.io_public_tvheadend_tvheadend_deb_debian_dists_trixie_InRelease has the following lines:

 d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e 0 main/binary-arm64/Packages
 d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e 0 main/binary-arm64/Packages.gz

It seems like both are empty (size 0) ? Files for other architectures have higher filesizes.

It seems that the script incorrectly identified my distro as debian instead of rasbian. I've replaced the tvheadend-tvheadend.list file with this one and it works now.

This solved the problem for me too! Thanks :-)

Me too. Thanks for the pointer.

I must admit I don't see why Debian should not have an arm64 package. The problem system is a pure Debian install, even if it is on a RPi, and isn't Raspbian. I'd expect the Raspbian/Debian arm64 packages to be the same thing, though.
