speedtest -cli suddenly stops working

[Member ok-ok]

I have used speedtest -cli for many years but now it throws up
these lines. I should add that I have never
tampered with the source code which is python.Any ideas ?

The format of the serverslist may have recently been changed, causing the python script to choke.
How to get it working again:

(as sudo) edit /usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli.py
and replace these 3 lines, about Line1173…

ignore_servers = list(
     map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(','))
)

…with this single line
ignore_servers = []

Make sure you have the latest antix-goodies since it removes our version of speedtest-cli. (as from antix-goodies version 0.8.02).

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Does not the regular upgrade include the `latest antix-goodies” ?

If you are using antiX-19 series, latest antix-goodies does not include speedtest-cli anymore.

But why is speedtest-cli.py still in /usr/local/bin/ and not deleted by “apt autoremove”?

Btw.: Hello everybody!

It is/was packaged in antix-goodies package.
Make sure this package had been updated and speedtest-cli.py will be removed from /usr/local/bin.

That version of antix-goodies does not include speedtest-cli.py and so it (speedtest-cli-py) should not appear in /usr/local/bin

This is from the changelog:

antix-goodies (0.8.02) buster; urgency=medium

  * removed speedtest-cli.py

May be a legacy from a previous version.
