.deb package uses unsupported compression format on Debian #115

Closed AnthillSudoku closed 2 years ago

AnthillSudoku commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug on debian 11 (stable) PDF4Teachers-Linux-1.3.1.deb fails to install giving this error:

dpkg-deb: error: archive 'PDF4Teachers-Linux-1.3.1.deb' uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst'

installing zstd packegs does not fix the issue.

As far as I understand debian's dpkg does not support yet zst compression, which is the default for nowadays ubuntu distros

Desktop (please complete the following information):

zst compression seems to be a compression format supported only by Ubuntu.

I'll re-upload the release with another compression format. In the meanwhile, you can download the non-debian .tar.gz archive and install PDF4Teachers using the instructions provided in the archive.

Thank you, Clément Grennerat.

I just re-uploaded the .deb file with classic xz compression. deb package should now work on Debian.
