Hello,

I have the same issue on XUbuntu 14.10 i386 freshly installed.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freefilesync/ffs --> Ok
sudo apt-get update --> Ok

 sudo apt-get install freefilesync --> KO : package not found

in french :
"Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait

E: Impossible de trouver le paquet freefilesync"

Hello

Same issue here with Kubuntu 14.10 (64bits).

I can't download the packages, I have an "404 Not Found" error for both

http://ppa.launchpad.net/freefilesync/ffs/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/binary-i386/Packages
AND
http://ppa.launchpad.net/freefilesync/ffs/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/binary-amd64/Packages

Is it still possible to download with "ppa:freefilesync//ffs" ?

Thanks
C

Same here... Ubuntu 14.10 (64bit).

"The requested URL /freefilesync/ffs/ubuntu/dists/utopic was not found on this server."

The precompiled version from http://www.freefilesync.org/ will work on Ubuntu 14.10 (64-bit)

How can we instal the precompiled version?

No configure nor install file in it.

There's really not much to do here: Just start the "FreeFileSync" binary after extracting the archive somewhere.

but its not PPA

Workaround.... in Synaptic, Settings/Repositories/Other Software tab, find the lines for freefilesync (I have two lines, one for binary, one for source). Edit each of these entries, and change the "Distribution" field from "utopic" to "trusty".

[Sadi Yumuşak (sa-yu)]

Here is also a temporary workaround in another form ;-)

1) Create a file named, for example:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/FreeFileSync.list

2) Enter the following line in that file:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freefilesync/ffs/ubuntu trusty main #FreeFileSync

3) And finally enter the usual commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

NOTE: The point is that the package created for Ubuntu Trusty works with others as well...
Let's hope that the good developer of this superb utility will have time to adapt it to later versions of Ubuntu as well...

Pre-compiled portable versions are available for Debian/Ubuntu:
