For unknown reasons, the wget
version provided by Linux Mint 20.3 gave me a segmentation fault error.
That's why I replaced it with the last version:
wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-latest.tar.gz
tar -xf wget-latest.tar.gz
cd wget-1.21.2
./configure
make
sudo make install
The last step (sudo make install
) has overwritten the version of wget
that came with Linux Mint. I cannot remove the deb package wget
because of dependencies with Cinnamon.
Future OS updates may overwrite the version of wget compiled by me.
What do I do in such cases?
I tag the question with "Linux Mint" and "Ubuntu" because the problem is similar. In fact, not only Cinnamon depends on the wget
package, but also Google Chrome.
