Re: [gexiv2] Debian package does not install correctly

[Justin Easter <justineaster gmail com>]

The reason I ran debuild with sudo was because I did not run ./autogen.sh first. Running autogen.sh first resolved that issue.

I started from a fresh install again, here are the list of commands this time:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gexiv2

sudo apt-get install automake

sudo apt-get install exiv2

sudo apt-get install gtk-doc-tools

sudo apt-get install valac

sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev

sudo apt-get install libexiv2-dev

sudo apt-get install python-gi

sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get install debhelper

sudo apt-get install devscripts

sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev

cd gexiv2

./autogen.sh

debuild -b -uc -us

sudo dpkg -i ../gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10_0.10.4-0~jensge1~xenial4_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i ../libgexiv2-2_0.10.4-0~jensge1~xenial4_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i ../libgexiv2-dbg_0.10.4-0~jensge1~xenial4_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i ../libgexiv2-dev_0.10.4-0~jensge1~xenial4_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i ../libgexiv2-doc_0.10.4-0~jensge1~xenial4_amd64.deb

So now the libgexiv2.so.2 file is in the correct directory, as it got rid of that missing error. Running 'sudo find / -name libgexiv2.so.2' shows:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgexiv2.so.2

/home/ubuntu/gexiv2/debian/libgexiv2-2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgexiv2.so.2

So now it seems the only issue is with the GExiv2.py overrides file not being in the right directory. Running 'sudo find / -name GExiv2.py' shows:

/home/ubuntu/gexiv2/GExiv2.py

/home/ubuntu/gexiv2/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py

/home/ubuntu/gexiv2/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py

I tried running debuild again and piping it to a file so I could attach the output, but running it a second time gave me a fatal error.

debuild -b -uc -us > debuild.log

tee: ../gexiv2_0.10.4-0~jensge1~xenial4_amd64.build: Permission denied

debuild: fatal error at line 1376:

debuild should suffice if you have fakeroot installed. I wouldn't build random software off the internets as root.

sudo dpkg -i ../gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10_0.10.4-0~jensge1~xenial4_amd64.deb

You did notice the other *.deb files that came out of the debuild, right?

Apparently there's a dependency missing to the main libgexiv2 deb.
