6 months ago @vidyasagarnimmagaddi This is a minimal workflow that simply queries dpkg for information about the build-essential package. You can find it here: https://github.com/AptiviCEO/GhActionsBuildEssential.
Create a GitHub repository with this content in the .github/workflows/test.yml file:
name: Test build-essential
on:
push:
branches:
- main
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
strategy:
matrix:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, ubuntu-24.04]
runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
ref: ${{ github.ref }}
- name: Testing build-essential
run: |
which make
dpkg -l build-essentialThe Ubuntu 22.04 runner reports that the package is installed (ii), according to this output:
/usr/bin/make
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

6 months ago Hi @AptiviCEO ,
below are the some build-essential, we have already installed them.
[dpkg-dev] [g++]( [gcc] [make]
Could you please confirm once.

6 months ago I've confirmed that these packages are installed.
As a side note, I've made a minimal reproducible Debian packaging step by adding all the necessary Debian files and changing the workflow to look like this:
name: Test build-essential
on:
push:
branches:
- main
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
strategy:
matrix:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, ubuntu-24.04]
runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
ref: ${{ github.ref }}
- name: Testing build-essential
run: |
which make
dpkg -l build-essential dpkg-dev g++ gcc make
- name: Testing build-essential with Debian packaging
run: |
sudo apt install devscripts debhelper-compat dput
mv debian ..
mv .github ..
tar cfv ../testpkg_1.0.orig.tar .
xz ../testpkg_1.0.orig.tar
mv ../debian .
debuild -us -ucThe debuild -us -uc command does explicitly check for the build-essential package, and will fail if it's not installed as seen earlier:
un build-essential <none> <none> (no description available)This failed on the Ubuntu 24.04 runner: (e-mails are redacted)
(...)

dpkg-buildpackage: info: host architecture amd64
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: build-essential:native
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
(...)...while it went successful (but I've set up all the jobs to stop when one of them fails so it appears to be "failing") with the Ubuntu 22.04 runner:

6 months ago This package is the meta one, we do not need to install it as all the dependencies are provided in the image.
Description
In the Ubuntu 22.04 GitHub Actions runner, build-essential is installed. However, the Ubuntu 24.04 beta GH Actions runner, build-essential is missing. Therefore, my jobs that depend on it failed to run.
Notice the "build-essential" message. This means that it isn't installed in the Ubuntu 24.04 beta worker at all! This package is so important for building apps, because it has G++, Make, and others.
This means that any project that requires Make to build will fail to run.
Platforms affected
Runner images affected
Image version and build link
Ubuntu 24.04 https://github.com/Aptivi/NitrocidKS/actions/runs/9254542094/job/25456543655
Is it regression?
Yes, Ubuntu 22.04. https://github.com/Aptivi/NitrocidKS/actions/runs/9241701729
Expected behavior
I expect that the build completes successfully without having to install build-essential myself.
Actual behavior
build-essential is missing, causing build failures. Therefore, I have to install build-essential as part of the job build process.
Repro steps
Just make a job that depends on one of the build-essential's deps, such as make, g++, etc.
