I had a working version of git-annex on my Ubuntu 22. I upgraded to Ubuntu 24 recently and my git-annex is not functioning properly. When I try to get a file from annex, I get the following type of error message.
git-annex-shell: Action blocked by GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_LIMITED
Transfer failed
Unable to access these remotes: meistri
No other repository is known to contain the file.
(Note that these git remotes have annex-ignore set: origin)
failed
get: 1 failed
The explanation provided by the repository owner is that my version of git-annex doesn't work properly so I would have to change it. How do I get an older version of git-annex? The sudo apt-get ...
command as described here / gives the same version that I had. I find it difficult to navigate through this site to find an older version.
