BalenaSound- Unable to locate package bluealsa

Product support
1

Hi,

  I thought that I would try out the BalenaSound project, but I'm unable to push it to my device.  The device shows up in the devices window, is running balenaOS 2.38.0+rev1 on a raspberry pi 3b+.  I downloaded the project from github as a zip file and ran the command 'C:\Users\bhaus\Desktop\balena-sound-master>balena push AudioBridge' from the unzipped directory.  Things seem to run fine until it couldn't find the bluealsa package:

first error looks like this:
[bluetooth-audio] Step 4/13 : RUN install_packages alsa-utils bluealsa bluez python-gobject python-dbus mplayer
[bluetooth-audio] —> Running in 40bc925dd012
[bluetooth-audio] Reading package lists…
[bluetooth-audio] Building dependency tree…
[bluetooth-audio] Reading state information…
[bluetooth-audio] E: Unable to locate package bluealsa

it tries that a few more times then fails completely with this:

[bluetooth-audio] The command ‘/bin/sh -c install_packages alsa-utils bluealsa bluez python-gobject python-dbus mplayer’ returned a non-zero code: 100

not certain what I’m doing wrong here.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give me!

Thanks,
         Brian

Thanks! It was a related issue, I just had to remove the reference to blue alsa from the Dockerfile.template and everything worked great.
