Howdy!
Turns out the Debian package won't install on lightweight ummm... installations
because postinst, postrm and prerm don't check for existence of the
programs they use:
$ dpkg -i voxatron_0.2.1_amd64.deb Selecting previously unselected package voxatron. (Reading database ... 59948 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking voxatron (from voxatron_0.2.1_amd64.deb) ... Setting up voxatron (0.2.1) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/voxatron.postinst: 3: /var/lib/dpkg/info/voxatron.postinst: xdg-icon-resource: not found /var/lib/dpkg/info/voxatron.postinst: 4: /var/lib/dpkg/info/voxatron.postinst: xdg-desktop-menu: not found dpkg: error processing voxatron (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: voxatron |
Wrapping each command like so
[b]if type xdg-desktop-menu > /dev/null; then[/b] xdg-desktop-menu install --novendor /usr/share/applications/voxatron.desktop [b]fi[/b] |
should fix the problem (and IMHO is preferable to adding an xdg-utils dependency).
Thanks! :)
