README.Debian build dependency recipe error

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

/usr/local/src/shellinabox# less INSTALL.Debian 
/usr/local/src/shellinabox#   # Install build dependencies
/usr/local/src/shellinabox#   i="$(dpkg-checkbuilddeps 2>&1 | sed -e 
's/.*dependencies: //;t;d')"
/usr/local/src/shellinabox#   [ -n "$i" ] && sudo apt-get install $i

E: Couldn't find any package by regex '8.0.0)'
/usr/local/src/shellinabox# echo $i
debhelper (>= 8.0.0) autotools-dev libpam0g-dev

I was able to work around it thus:

/usr/local/src/shellinabox# apt-get install debhelper autotools-dev libpam0g-dev

I was able to verify a version >= 8.0.0 thus:

/usr/local/src/shellinabox# dpkg -l|grep debhelper
ii  debhelper                            9.20120115ubuntu3                   
helper programs for debian/rules

Oops- that subject line should have been INSTALL.Debian not README.Debian

Also, dpkg-buildpackage fails with...

dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no upstream 
tarball found at ../shellinabox_2.14.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz}

I was able to work around it by running debian/rules binary instead:

/usr/local/src/shellinabox# debian/rules binary
...
dpkg-deb: building package `shellinabox' in `../shellinabox_2.14-1_amd64.deb'.
/usr/local/src/shellinabox# dpkg -i ../shellinabox_2.14-1_amd64.deb
