Hello,
i just upgrade from fedora 31 to fedora 32 workstation.
Bleachbit was removed during this upgrade.
I have been using Bleachbit for 6 years on fedora and it is the fisrt time i meet this issue.

I tried to install from the official depository and it seems that Bleachbit is not avalaible anymore on it.
Do you know if Bleachbit will be avalaible again on it soon ?

i guess the only alternative is to download the officiel rpm from bleachbit.org. Unfortunately, only fedora 30 and fedora 31 are avalaible.
Could you put a new rpm for fedora 32 ?

Best regards

Your operating system: 
fedora 32

Try the package for Fedora 31. I think it will work the same on Fedora 32.

Later I will try to build the package for Fedora 32, but to help me not forget, you could file an issue ticket at https://github.com/bleachbit/bleachbit/issues/new

Hello,
Hello,
Fedora 33 will be available in a few days.
Do you still suggest to use the package for fedora 31 (stable version) ?

Please try the Fedora 32 package for Fedora 33, and I will try to provide a Fedora 33 package for the next release (4.1.1 beta or 4.2.0 final).

Hello Andrew,
thank you for your answer.
In fact there is no Fedora 32 package. For Fedora 32 you recommand to use the Fedora 31 package (which works pretty well in my case).
So should we still use the fedora 31 package ?
Best regards

Yes, there is a Fedora 32 package for BleachBit 4.1.0 beta. Towards the bottom of the news page there is a download link that leads to SourceForge, and the package name is bleachbit-4.1.0-1.1.fc32.noarch.rpm.

In general, please try the newest or closest Fedora package.

Hello Andrew,
thank you for this information
Just to be sure, to sum up :
- the last beta package for fedora is the one you just mentionned : bleachbit-4.1.0-1.1.fc32.noarch.rpm.
- the last stable release package for fedora is this one : https://www.bleachbit.org/download/file/t?file=bleachbit-4.0.0-1.1.fc31...., made for Fedora 31 but works well for Fedora 32.

Since i prefere to use stable release version, i may keep using the 4.0 version until the next stable realease is ready (the 4.2 i guess).
Do you think i can use this stable realase on fedora 33 ?

Best regards

Hello Andrew,
Fedora 34 is just available.
Could you confirm me that BleachBit 4.2.0 for Fedora 33 works find for Fedora 34 ?
Is it the recomanded version ?
Best regards,

TremblayM,

I have not tested it, but I expect it will work based on past experiences with situations like this. If not, the most likely problem is that it would not install or not start, so the problem would be obvious.

Example: In Fedora 32, they completely got rid of Python 2, so BleachBit versions 3.x and earlier stop working. BleachBit 4.0.0 updated to Python 3, and it worked again.

Hello,
Fedora 35 is just available.
I would like to know if bleachbit-4.4.0-1.1.fc34.noarch.rpm for Fedora 34 also works for Fedora 35 ?
Is it the recomanded version ?
Best regards,

andrew

I haven't personally tested it, but usually this kind of thing works. One exception was when Fedora 32 removed Python 2.

If it does not work, you will see an error during installation or startup, so typical risk of trying it is maybe getting an error message.
