<SOLVED> speedtest-cli (ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '')

[jimmy-r87]

I installed speedtest-cli and it gives me an error every time I try to run it. I have no idea what this means and was wondering if anyone knows the solution to this problem?

the error displayed:

Repository version of speedtest-cli is broken. Follow instructions here:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gnupg1 apt-transport-https dirmngr

sudo apt-get install speedtest

[jimmy-r87]

easy fix, thanks

[borgward]

Not working. I followed instructions at https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli
Package speedtest is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'speedtest' has no installation candidate

Also did:
sudo apt-get install gnupg1 apt-transport-https dirmngr
export INSTALL_KEY=379CE192D401AB61
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $INSTALL_KEY
echo "deb https://ookla.bintray.com/debian generic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/speedtest.list
sudo apt-get update
# Other non-official binaries will conflict with Speedtest CLI
# Example how to remove using apt-get
# sudo apt-get remove speedtest-cli
sudo apt-get install speedtest

Neither instructions work
