Revision history [back]

I'm a new Jolla user with a Jolla C, but familiar with SUSE linux. I needed to install gnupg-pinentry from here:
https://openrepos.net/content/inte/gnupg-pinentry
I tried to install the repo following the guidance here:
https://openrepos.net/user/1474/repository

devel-su rpm --import https://sailfish.openrepos.net/openrepos.key
(That hung first time, but worked - i.e. no error - a second time)
devel-su zypper ar -f https://sailfish.openrepos.net/inte/personal-main.repo
devel-su pkcon refresh - OK
devel-su pkcon install gnupg-pinentry - Command failed: This tool could not find any available package: could not find gnupg-pinentry
listing repos with ssu lr showed that the repo was not added

1 Why didn't that work?

I then downloaded the rpm and installed it with:
devel-su pkcon install-local Downloads/pinentry-0.8.3-1.armv7hl.rpm
which worked OK.

2 Is there any disadvantage of doing it that way?
3 Is there anything I should check, perhaps after the first failed attempt at adding the key?
