404 for libtiff5 package needed for examples that use PIL about inky

[Gadgetoid]

That should be the right approach, though you might need to sudo apt update first to ensure your sources are up to date.

But, broadly, yes this looks like it needs some documenting!

It might be easier to uninstall the pypi version of pil (python3 -m pip uninstall pil iirc) and use apt's version: sudo apt install python3-pil which should pull in the necessary dependencies automagically.

Normally our install.sh scripts do this for you, but it looks like Inky is lagging behind our newer packages 😬

Strangely I'm getting a similar set of missing IPs here. I don't think it's entirely on my end because I've been able to download plenty of other packages and have run sudo apt update several times

[Gadgetoid]

I'm not sure what's going on here, but I think your package management is subtly broken.

Those broken URLs are broken for me too, but the package manager shouldn't even be trying to download stuff that doesn't exist.

A reinstall might be necessary since you'll likely continue to have trouble installing other things (this issue has nothing directly to do with our libraries), or perhaps try:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt --fix-missing update

That fixed my problem!! Thank you.
