Just to make certain this was NOT my environment (I have a server colocated in a data center running ProxMox VE) I spun up a Debian 12 VM on VULTR and attempted the install there, I got the same result, fails at the same place.

Also attempted an ubuntu 20.04 box with same result - fails at iperf3.

Should be fixed.

[therestlesstexan]

I code in php, myself - so I'm curious - what was root cause?

[Ysurac]

It's here: Ysurac/openmptcprouter-vps@3f3962b
It the last changes: I forgot to correctly rename the iperf3 package due to iperf3 debian update.

[therestlesstexan]

D'oh! LOL

Thanks for the quick fix!

same thing happens now with iperf 13.18-2 on BuyVM.

[Ysurac]

@mdp18 what is the error ? Did you try new script ? What script are you using ?

It seems i'm facing the same issue on fresh install : Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS on OVH VPS
The error I get is mk-build-deps: You must have equivs installed to use this program.

[Ysurac]

It's a new error, fixed now thanks. Ubuntu is not supported anymore, only Debian.

Same here on AWS t4g (ARM) :

Build iperf3 package....
Install iperf3 package...

[Ysurac]

I think it's only an error on ARM. I will test.

[xNagatsu]

i've found a "fix"

Line 591
dpkg -i iperf3_3.18-2_amd64.deb libiperf0_3.18-2_amd64.deb >/dev/null 2>&1

i've change to
dpkg -i iperf3_3.18-2_arm64.deb libiperf0_3.18-2_arm64.deb >/dev/null 2>&1

It's not clean but it's work

[Ysurac]

Yes it was the issue, I fixed it in snapshot VPS script (with a "*")
