Issues installing packages as dependency of addon
Hi All,
I'm developing an addon for ROS6 and have run into a really strange problem. My addon depends on PHP, Rsync, OpenVPN and Sudo. I've added all of these to the control file for the .deb build as follows:
When I install the addon by uploading it to the GUI on the ReadyNAS, the following shows up in /var/log/dpkg.log:
It seems to go and fetch PHP, rsync is already part of ROS, but sudo and openvpn just don't get installed. At this point the addon is in a half-installed state and doesn't work due to lack of dependencies.
If I "apt-get install" the missing packages everything works fine - however this won't work for distribution of the addon.
Shouldn't the dependencies all be downloaded automatically, or am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance! :)

It seems to go and fetch PHP, rsync is already part of ROS, but sudo and openvpn just don't get installed. At this point the addon is in a half-installed state and doesn't work due to lack of dependencies.
If I "apt-get install" the missing packages everything works fine - however this won't work for distribution of the addon.
Shouldn't the dependencies all be downloaded automatically, or am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance! :)

- Can you post the relevant parts of your control file? The problem is that although I reported this as a bug in the beta phase of RNOS6, the script that determines what dependencies should get installed never got fixed. Thus it still chokes on some conditions like >= "version number" and the like.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply!
The control file I'm testing with now is:Depends: readynasos (>= 6.1.4), php5 (>= 5.0.0), libapache2-mod-php5 (>=5.0.0), php5-cli (>=5.0.0), php5-curl (>=5.0.0), rsync(>= 3.0.9), sudo (>= 1.0), openvpn(>= 2.2.1)
I've also tried sudo and openvpn without the version numbers:Depends: readynasos (>= 6.1.4), php5 (>= 5.0.0), libapache2-mod-php5 (>=5.0.0), php5-cli (>=5.0.0), php5-curl (>=5.0.0), rsync(>= 3.0.9), sudo, openvpn
Is there another way I can get the dependencies installed?
Thanks!- I've just tested with:
Depends: readynasos, php5, libapache2-mod-php5, php5-cli, php5-curl, rsync, sudo, openvpn
Same result - sudo and ovpn don't get installed. This is a tricky one!

- The problem seems to be that the check for installed packages sees you "half-installed" packages as being "fully installed" and thus doesn't try to re-install those again.
What you can do to fix this manually is to run "apt-get -f install" but that won't tell you whether the dependencies in the control file will now work. So my approach would be to manually remove the half-installed packages and then re-run the add-on installation to see what happens.
