Summary: : libreoffice4.0-debian-menus: wrong package name
(lacks the 4.0 in control file)
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
Component: Installation
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description: binary package libreoffice4.0-debian-menus.deb downloaded
from http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/ does not have
the correct name in control file (at least for x86-32bit version).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Place all deb files in an APT repository....
2. Update the repository (apt-ftparchive) and the machine's package list
(apt-get update)
3. Try apt-get install libreoffice4.0-debian-menus
Current behavior:
libreoffice4.0-debian-menus package unknown (in fact the package real name is
libreoffice-debian-menus).
Expected behavior:
since there is a file libreoffice4.0-debian-menus_nnn.deb one expects to have a
package with that name.
Solutions:
A) Preferred by me:
Take the .deb file and extract it, correct the DEBIAN/control file and rebuild
the package again.
mkdir dest
dpkg --extract <deb_file> dest
dpkg --control <deb_file>
mv DEBIAN dest
edit dest/DEBIAN/control and change package name to
"libreoffice4.0-debian-menus"
dpkg --build dest
mv <deb_file> other_name
dpkg-name dest.deb
B) Alternate quick fix
Rename the deb file to the same package name that has in the control metadata.
dpkg-name <libreoffice4.0-debian-menus deb file>
Operating System: Debian
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
Last worked in: 3.6.2.2 release
