When trying “alr search globe_3d” I get:

NAME STATUS VERSION DESCRIPTION NOTES MATCHES

Version: 2023.11.12 ?

Which version of Alire do you use (you see it with the “alr” command alone) ?
Versions before 2.x did not update the index automatically (or a similar issue).
In doubt, run alr index --update-all.

I use linux/debian.

Here is from my computer:
alr --version
alr 2.1.0
…
alr index --update-all
Already up to date.
…

alr search globe_3d
warn: Index ‘community’ version (1.3.0) is older than the newest supported by alr (1.4.0)
warn: You can disable this warning with settings key ‘warning.old_index’
ⓘ If you experience any problems loading this index, you may need to reset the community index with ‘alr index --reset-community’. Note that this operation will delete any local changes to the community index.
NAME STATUS VERSION DESCRIPTION NOTES MATCHES

OK, I tried:
alr index --reset-community

****and this did the trick :wink:

Now I get:
alr search globe_3d

This project looks interesting but I cannot ‘get’ the crate. What does this error mean?

# alr get globe_3d
error: Release within the requested versions [globe_3d*] does not exist in the index.

I also tried this before the get operation:

# alr index --reset-community

Here’s my version:

# alr --version
alr 2.1.0

I suspect this error message is because I am not using macos or windows..

If that is the case, the error message is not very clear.

That’s probably what it’s happening. There was a previous similar issue: Some crates are not listed in https://alire.ada.dev/crates.html · Issue #1402 · alire-project/alire · GitHub
