Hi,
could you please help me how to uninstall btsync and your repository from trusted repositories? Thanks.
I looked into /etc/apt/sources.list but the http://debian.yeasoft.net is not listed there, yet when I do apt-update it is shown as one of sources...
I already unsintalled btsync with this command:
sudo apt-get --yes --purge remove btsync
But the http://debian.yeasoft.net still remains in my repositories.Beside that and somehow removing http://debian.yeasoft.net is there anything else I need to do to completely remove all traces of btsync from my system?
Thak you for your support.
PS: I think it would be good idea to add un-installing instructions into the main page with instructions how to install.
Look in /etc/alt/sources.list.d/ it is placed there as a seperate file.

I was about to migrate a rather considerable number of users to btsync when they launched v. 2, we were willing to pay anywhere from 10$ to 100$ per user, but with the subscription model and linking of devices our trust and usage model, btsync was no longer an option, and we decided to go wit synching despite its immature state.

Since you're using the unofficial Debian package it is /usr/lib/btsync-common/btsync-core

The theory in btsync is to supply the file with newest times tamp, but at the same time it checks to see if the file CRC check has changed, since you have an empty folder, I would expect it to begin resyncing from the other servers, if the contence in the .sync folder shows an earlier time stamp.

> apt-get remove btsync-common btsyncWhat should I remove? I tried both
sudo apt-get remove btsync
andsudo apt-get remove btsync-daemon
and Sync is still installed and working after reboot.Below what
pgrep -lf sync
gives:1438 /usr/lib/btsync/btsync-daemon --nodaemon --config /etc/btsync/debconf-default.conf
Also, I still don't know whether I'm running the server or desktop version. How can I tell?And its the server version you're running.

The error you're getting in the end is because you have created a background zombie process by issuing ctrl +Z, you should either use Ctrl +C or let it finish.I have a VPS and the most important service installed in it is btsync.
I used this package to install it some months ago, and really do not remember if I used defaut config, but I suppose I followed your instructions. :-)
The problem today is that aptitude allways hungs, and I cannot upgrade btsync nor any other package.
I also tried to remove btsync, just to try a clean install, but it also do not work.
I use Debian, and this is the output:
=====================
root@debian:/home/USERNAME# aptitude remove btsync
The following packages will be REMOVED:

Any other aptitude command gives me the same error:

Can you help me? Thank you.
Use "fg" to bring it into a foreground process once again and terminate it correctly, or use the "kill -15" command on the process ID to send a correct terminate signal.
The error you're seeing when removing the btsync package, is due to the /etc/init.d/btsync script missing a linux standard base compliant (another description) if you don't want to alter the script before removing the package, use the [--force] flag to dpkg.
IE:
> dpkg --force-all --remove btsync
> dpkg --force-all --remove btsync-common

The changes in the API from 1.4 to 2.0 are making it very difficult to adapt the same functionality.
It might never get full functionality.
