debtap's Issues

Possibility of generating Alpine Linux packages?

This could be particularly useful in Docker and postmarketOS, both of which use Alpine as a base system.

/usr/bin/debtap: line 2796: `packages-names-translator': not a valid identifier

I installed debtap by moving the bash file to my /usr/bin. sudo sh debtap -u ran smoothly but it couldn't convert the amd64 debian buster package for xmorph and gtkmorph.

error: group 'base' was not found

When I was running debtap -u in my manjaro (pacman version v5.2.2.) , I got some error:

It seems caused by line 116：

And reference to archlinux official news, base group was replaced by metapackage base, thus we can not find group base.

And I workaround by replace line 116:

I don't know if you guys have the same problem, and maybe it not work for you, so i put it in issues but not PR.

can't update anymore

[root@deepthought ~]# curl -C - -f http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/Contents-amd64.gz
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/ exists, but there is not Contents-*.gz file at all.

does not wirk with control.tar.xz

looks like the new deb packages contain control.tart.xz rather than control.tart.gz. Please update you package to handle them. I replaced the line ar p "$package_with_full_path" control.tar.gz | tar xz with
control_tar_check=ar t "$package_with_full_path" | grep control
if [[ $control_tar_check == control.tar.gz ]]; then
ar p "$package_with_full_path" control.tar.gz | tar xz
elif [[ $control_tar_check == control.tar.xz ]]; then
ar p "$package_with_full_path" control.tar.xz | tar xJ
fi

which seems to be inline with your code and seems to work.

Thanks and BTW great script

So... how to fix it ???

Debtap does not sync the last repo

Seems I'm stuck trying to update repos:

debtap -u

  core is up to date
  extra is up to date
  multilib is up to date

I would suggest a verbose method so people could have a clue of what is going on

using packages-names-translator via a cli option

The significant content of the debtap script is about mapping debian dependencies to arch linux dependencies. It is not easy to extract only needed places of code for this task (because it will be a really long script). But it will be good if we can check mapping via command line without actually having a .deb file.
Can you please add it? For example, with "-d --d --dependency-map" option.
I need it because I am repacking an amdgpu-pro ubuntu packages for archlinux with a script https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu/blob/master/gen-PKGBUILD.py#L286

cleaning /var/cache/debtap

that directory is growing and i am not sure if any installed packages depend on it.

is it safe to clear this directory out once in a while or would that break packages installed with the help of debtap?

also: thank you for your work :)

Failed to synchronize the pkg file

See what happens when I try to synchronize the database:

errors from the .INSTALL

These show up when install or removing the generated package using packman:

/tmp/alpm_XNlaz5/.INSTALL: line 534: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
/tmp/alpm_XNlaz5/.INSTALL: line 567: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I am using the debtap binary installed from AUR using yay:

[viasat@Manjaro ~]$ debtap -v
3.2.2

/usr/bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Hello I installed the dependencies as per request but I received the following error when executing:
./debtap -u verbio-asr-pt-br_9.00_amd64.deb
bash: ./debtap: /usr/bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Dependencies from core repo

In some debian packages there are dependencies such as "udev". It is mapped to "systemd-libs", which is core, so it doesn't need to be explicitly required in dependencies.
Maybe make a special check for such cases?

zx compression preset

Hi, first of all thanks for your work, it helped me a lot.

I was trying to convert the file above in my raspberry 3 b+ and I had some memories issue during the "Creating final package..." step. Then I removed the "-9" (compression preset) from xz command line and everything went fine as expected.

So I was wondering if you could change the default preset to xz's default or make it configurable. Either way, it would help users with the same issue.

Thanks.

Apologize not to be right topic but need ask such this but it is opposite

Anyone happen to know if there's such that is exact opposite to this ie. some tool to convert an Arch binary package to .deb Debian?

does not create symbolic link

I'm having problems with the visual-studio-code-bin package from the AUR repository. So I tried to convert .deb. But after installed with sudo pacman -U, the symbolic link of the postinst file is not created

ln -s /usr/share/code/bin /code/usr/bin/code

Peculiar dependency

As I transformed Atom nightly debian package into alpm in Manjaro, it included dependency like tuxedo-control-center and Metasploit Framework. You may look in this issue
Prerequisites to reproduce:

A Manjaro Linux Lysia installation
Metasploit and Tuxedo control center previously installed (I don't use a Tuxedo, it came with XFCE)
atom-amd64.deb from above link.
debtap script

Way to reproduce:

debtap atom-amd64.deb
See .PKGBUILD

Add option for printing version

$ debtap -v
3.1.4

\n in install script get interpreted

Hi, I ran debtap on a deb package and there these comment within the control scripts

# "Amazon Linux AMI release 2017.0"
# "Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS \n \"
# "Debian GNU/Linux 9 \n \l"
# "Debian GNU/Linux 8 \n \l"

and in the install script produced, it became

	# "Amazon Linux AMI release 2017.0"
	# "Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 
\"
	# "Debian GNU/Linux 9 
 \l"
	# "Debian GNU/Linux 8 
 \l"

I'm guessing the comment were interpreted literally?

Changing Output .tar.xz files' permissions from 644 to 755?

I love your app, and I can't tell you how many times I've used it with great success. I'd like to know if there's a way to change the output .tar.xz files' permissions from 644 to 755?

I might be new to linux, but since there's a big-ol-lock emblem on the file, I think that means that I won't be able to actually install it unless I manually change it's permissions to 755.

Thanks!

Removing Packages

I installed package through debtap. How to uninstall it?

Update issue

Hi there I'm quite new on arch and I needed debtap to use a very specific emacs tool called caml tuareg to use emacs and camllight. Each time I try to update it I get a lot of 404 (and some 502) errors, the update finally ends with the message: "All steps fully completed".Then when I try to use debtap on my deb file, I'm asked to update it again. How can I solve this?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Why do we need root permission to convert a deb package to arch package?

Is it so that it will download all the dependencies from the debian/ubuntu repos?

If for some reason workdir is not created (e.g. permission issues), script will happily destroy everything in current directory

Around this: https://github.com/helixarch/debtap/blob/master/debtap#L102

Permissions were wrong, so creating a new directory failed, switching to it errored but the script continued, and then ran rm -rf on all files not matched by the grep line (which was all files in that folder).

$ debtap fx-docuprint-cp225-228-w_1.deb                                                                                                                                                         
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘fx-docuprint-cp225-228-w_1-working-directory’: Permission denied
/usr/bin/debtap: line 97: cd: fx-docuprint-cp225-228-w_1-working-directory: No such file or directory
... script continues ...

Fortunately this wasn't anywhere important...

Here-Document terminators broken during conversion

Found one more bug while converting Kaspersky.
When copying control scripts (preinst, postinst etc), all lines are prefixed by spaces (for indentation). This is usually just fine, but breaks here-document terminators as they must not have anything before or after them in the same line.

I implemented a change (will make a pull request shortly) that keeps track of all encountered here-document terminator candidates and if the line matches any of them, it is not prefixed as usual. Saying candidfates as it may produce false positives, but they will not affect anything as they won't match an actual line.
I tested it pretty extensively (with complicated scripts) and it seems reliable. The implementation is probably not the best, though...

malware?

Why is cryptoseed getting installed as a dependency when packages such as Thorium reader, vivaldi, and slimjet are installed via debtap?

ls: cannot access 'usr/bin': No such file or directory

On manjaro, I get

==> Generating PKGBUILD file...
ls: cannot access 'usr/bin': No such file or directory

even if I create that structure in the current dir. And /usr/bin does exist.

Any ideas?

Dependencies.

Warning: These dependencies (depend = fields) could not be translated into Arch Linux packages names:
jackd, qt5-default
qt5 - its already supposed to be there, i use kde plasma
jackd - i dont know

libstdc++6 (>= 5.2) converts to depend = aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc>=5.2 on x86_64

I have got a license for the commercial Varicad program. Since I have just switched from Xubuntu to Manjaro I used the debtab script to successfully convert the .deb Package.

Varicad...deb lists in its control part a libstdc++6 dependency. This leads to depend = aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc>=5.2 in .PKGINFO. An ARM64 lib for a x86_64 System?? Maybe the Tables are wrong at this point? I have changed this by hand to libstdc++5. This works. But I am not sure if that is needed because the standard c++ lib should be part of gcc-lib? Now my system has this dependency ... preventing me to deinstall libstdc++5.

There is no notice in the readme about the Packager and the License questions yet. Nothing but enter worked. And any other key than 1,2 or 4 skips the editor on my system. The Varicad program installs to /opt/VariCAD/bin/varicad and installs a link at /usr/bin to that. So pamac notes wrong that varicad was not installed. But that are very mini problems.

@ Helix: But the very first thing now: THANK YOU FOR THE SCRIPT!
This is a way to get even commercial software running.

alternative of pkgfile?

Hi, I am getting 404 error when I run pkgfile -u

http://sprunge.us/TRai

Is there an alternative of pkgfile that can works with Manjaro please?

Please help, I need debtap and manjaro.

Help output shows duplicate options

When I run $ debtap -h I get this:

Syntax: debtap [option] package_filename

Options:

      -h  --h  -help    --help        Prints this help message
      -u  --u  -update  --update      Update debtap database
      -q  --q  -quiet   --quiet       Bypass all questions, except for editing metadata file(s)
      -Q  --Q  -Quiet   --Quiet       Bypass all questions (not recommended)

Is it a good idea to use pacman -Fs instead of pkgfile?

debtap keep asking me to run `debtap -u` even after I ran it

Script Broken: PKGBUILD Cannot Be Created if .deb package doesn't contain any usr/bin files

You've already closed a similar issue because you didn't read what the person was saying and told them their installation was broken.

If you simply try to CONVERT a .deb package that doesn't contain any /usr/bin files (let's say for this example it only contains files in /usr/share and /etc), the conversion will work fine.

But if you try to create a PKGBUILD, it will fail with this error:

==> Generating PKGBUILD file...
ls: cannot access 'usr/bin': No such file or directory
Error: Cannot create PKGBUILD directory, permission denied. Removing leftover files and exiting...

It's trying to ls in the usr/bin directory IN THE PACKAGE, but there isn't one, because the original .deb didn't have anything in usr/bin. Again, this is not a broken installation. At all. Your script is broken.

Again, it will convert packages perfectly fine, but it cannot create a PKGBUILD if the package doesn't contain anything in usr/bin. I'll give you two examples so you don't try to write this off as someone having a "broken installation" and then close the issue:

I have two .deb packages: i3-snapshot_1.0-1ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb, and vulkan-amdgpu-pro_20.10-1048554_amd64.deb. Let's look at their containing files:

dpkg-deb -c i3-snapshot_1.0-1ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb

Notice, the i3-snapshot has files in usr/bin. Now, let's look at the other one:

Notice, this .deb has NO files in usr/bin, therefore the package won't have a usr/bin

So, when you run debtap -P i3-snapshot_1.0-1ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb, it runs perfectly, and creates a PKGBUILD, but when you run debtap -P vulkan-amdgpu-pro_20.10-1048554_amd64.deb, it fails with:

==> Generating PKGBUILD file...
ls: cannot access 'usr/bin': No such file or directory
Error: Cannot create PKGBUILD directory, permission denied. Removing leftover files and exiting...

Because somewhere in your script, when it comes time to create a PKGBUILD, You're trying to ls a directory in the package that does not exist.

The script is gigantic, I'm trying to parse through it and find the offending location, but it'll take me a while. When I do, I'll post it, though I'm sure you know exactly where you call for this.

I hope you don't just close this issue like you did the other one, because that person was definitely correct. If the package being created DOES NOT contain any ./usr/bin/ files, it WILL fail trying to create a PKGBUILD.

where I find pkgbuild location?

I'm new using debtap and I didnt see in doc

debtap got the names of dependencies connected together

When I tried to generate a PKGBUILD for vst-video.deb (https://github.com/xymov/vst-video/releases/download/V2.55/vst-video.deb), I got a dependency like this:

libqt5xml5libqt5concurrent5libqt5multimedia5libqt5multimediawidgets5libqt5core5alibqt5gui5libqt5widgets5libqt5network5

I checked the control file inside the package, the dependencies are written like this:

Depends:libqt5xml5,libqt5concurrent5,libqt5multimedia5,libqt5multimediawidgets5,libqt5core5a,libqt5gui5,libqt5widgets5,libqt5network5

It seems that the missing spaces after commas caused debtap failing to read the dependencies. Is this a bug in debtap?

Package info before/during conversion

Since debtap already has to extract package information, it would probably be good if some was shown to the user as it is parsed, e.g. target architecture.

How do I specify the Debian source repository?

debtap -u fails with 404 error

When I try run debtap -u I get a 404 not found error:

Using version 2.1.5-1

Brother printer drivers- Incorrect translation of some file locations

OS: Manjaro 5.3.12
Debtap: 3.2.2

Background
Just installed Manjaro/Arch. I have a Brother MFC 7820N network printer. As a specific driver for this printer doesn't seem to exist in the repos or AUR, the aim was to use Debtap to convert the .deb files supplied by Brother.

Target Files

To Reproduce

Download and save the .deb files to a working directory
cd to the directory. Run-

debtap -s brmfc7820nlpr-2.0.1-1.i386.deb
debtap -s cupswrapperMFC7820N-2.0.1-2.i386.deb

Attempt to install-

sudo pacman -U brmfc7820nlpr-2.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U cupswrappermfc7820n-2.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Symptoms
Installation of both packages fails with a number of errors, including several "file not found" errors for files in /usr/local/Brother. By inspection I could see the packages created by debtap had what looked like the right files, but had installed some of them in /usr/Brother.

I manually moved/coped the contents of /usr/Brother over to /usr/local/Brother and deleted the now empty /usr/Brother directory. After this I was able to go into CUPS admin and by updating the printer to find it's network location, I was able to get the printer working.

It's possible debtap has simply mis-translated the location of these files. However from experience with the Brother drivers on windows I know the installers can be quite clunky and seem to run pre or post- install scripts. I wonder if there is a script in here somewhere that is expected to move the driver files into a platform-dependent location?

Note: I can upload the converted packages if that would be useful, but I don't want to add unecessarily large attachments to the bug report.

Strings unescaped during the conversion

I was converting Kaspersky Endpoint Security DEB (company policy to have it installed), which creates and executes a Perl script in its preisnt. Perl variables (and other strings) are escaped to avoid being interpreted by Bash, but during the conversation, Debtap unescaped them, causing Bash to keel over during the installation.

Example:

Original preisnt script contained:
my (\$logic, \$pkgmgr) = klinstall::get_work_logic(\$0, \\@ARGV);

In the generated .INSTALL, I ended up with:
my ($logic, $pkgmgr) = klinstall::get_work_logic($0, \@ARGV);

debtap exits with 404 error

I tried using debtap to convert openarena to arm arch linux as the aur package does not support armv7h architecture. When I try to convert, I get
Error: You must run at least once "debtap -u" with root privileges (preferably recently), before running this script
So I ran the debtap -u command and it exits with the said 404 error

Any help would be appreciated

Multiple file processing in one command

I'm not sure exactly where to put this, but I would really like it if you added the ability to convert multiple packages in one command. I don't mean do them all at once, just have it so that you don't need to enter 'debtap [option] filename' each time. This would be greatly appreciated.

Add armv6l to arm arch

https://github.com/helixarch/debtap/blob/master/debtap#L75

Adding armv6l there will support the older RPi devices as well. After changing that in your script, I was then able to update the debtap databases successfully.

Avoid needing host root privileges

This looks like a great project, but running 3.4k lines of shell code from a third party project as root to set up a build environment sounds very risky. It would be great if there was (for example) a Vagrantfile to easily run this is a contained environment.
