"I don't know how to install any packages on this system linux-mint-21.2"

[Henrique Aguiar]

I can't get past this step after upgrading to Linux Mint 21.2:

henrique@LH:~/Downloads/watchman-2023.07.17.00$ sudo ./install-system-packages.sh
++ dirname ./install-system-packages.sh
+ python3 ./build/fbcode_builder/getdeps.py install-system-deps --recursive watchman
I don't know how to install any packages on this system linux-mint-21.2

I'm not a python programmer, I'm only trying to setup my React Native dev environment, but I've inserted a print to show the "manager" variable in getdeps.py.

manager == None

So, on Linux Mint 21.2, loader.build_opts.host_type.get_package_manager() == None, stopping in this condition:

if manager == "rpm":
            packages = sorted(set(all_packages["rpm"]))
            if packages:
                cmd_args = ["sudo", "dnf", "install", "-y"] + packages
        elif manager == "deb":
            packages = sorted(set(all_packages["deb"]))
            if packages:
                cmd_args = ["sudo", "apt", "install", "-y"] + packages
        elif manager == "homebrew":
            packages = sorted(set(all_packages["homebrew"]))
            if packages:
                cmd_args = ["brew", "install"] + packages

        else:
            host_tuple = loader.build_opts.host_type.as_tuple_string()
            print(
                f"I don't know how to install any packages on this system {host_tuple}"
            )
            return

Any workaround?
Thanks

Hi, I am using Asahi Linux and encountered the same problem. I just gave it

manager == None

in the condition corresponding to my actual package manager and the installation was successful.
