That is quite clear, no? :slight_smile: library(redis) is packages with the recent development versions. It is not available for the stable versions (will come with 8.4.0). Don’t worry, the development versions are 99% of the time more reliable than the stable versions. They come with some infrequent regression, but such issues are typically fixed within a day after reporting.

So no redis in stable ?

#5

It is only in the development version for now.

#6

The “dev” version is actually very stable – I don’t think anyone has reported a regression, and only the occasional problem with a new feature.

So:

sudo apt remove swi-prolog
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:swi-prolog/stable
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:swi-prolog/devel
sudo apt update
sudo apt install swi-prolog

Everything is working as expected, thank you.
