Broken speedtest-cli

[r00igev@@r]

So the latest buster updates broke speedtest-cli
This is what it now reports:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
So I used this: https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli
Excellent. It works but I also also have to remove speedtest-cli. I used speedtest-cli --simple
The speedtest app works well but now I need to send the results to slack. i use speedtest -p no but have an invalid payload as I need to configure it better for json.
I would be kewl to figure out a way to send the jpg to slack but this is going to take me a while. Has anyone figured it out?

I use the Python version.
Install with:

$ sudo -H pip install --upgrade speedtest-cli
Collecting speedtest-cli
  Downloading speedtest_cli-2.1.3-py2.py3-none-any.whl (23 kB)
Installing collected packages: speedtest-cli
  Attempting uninstall: speedtest-cli
    Found existing installation: speedtest-cli 2.1.1
    Uninstalling speedtest-cli-2.1.1:
      Successfully uninstalled speedtest-cli-2.1.1
Successfully installed speedtest-cli-2.1.3

Then you can run with the "--simple" option:

$ speedtest-cli --simple

Upgrade to bullseye?

Silly that they used the same package name as the one in the Debian.

Yes, multiple people use the script speedtest and store it in the same place. I prefer the ookla one as the other one seems to have a bad case of digital herpes as it always defaults to using Vodacom.

Upgrade to bullseye?

No, the latest 10.x - It has something to do with python and throws a base10 error.

I meant why don't you upgrade to bullseye?

Here's the fix:

Handle case where ignoreids is empty or contains empty ids · sivel/speedtest-cli@cadc68b

Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net - Handle case where ignoreids is empty or contains empty ids · sivel/speedtest-cli@cadc68b

github.com

...and it's in the version to be released with bullseye.

Ah, thanks.
Can't go to bullseye as I'm on LTS Buster.

Hmm, odd that something would've broken in stable to cause it to break. I'm the maintainer of that package will take a look at it tomorrow morning.

It's always been sketchy. Get the github one

It was at least a one-liner (https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/commit/cadc68b5aef20f28648072cf07a8f155639b81dd) - it's now in buster-proposed-updates so it should get updated soon after the release team reviews it.

Awesome. Would also help if the script does not create a copy of called speedtest. Just keep it at speedtest-cli.

Its still not in stable? Will the one in backports work?
