Deb package install fails

aaron-junot commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I am having trouble installing Open Stego on Debian 9.3 (Stretch).

I downloaded openstego_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb from https://github.com/syvaidya/openstego/releases and installed it using the following:

$ sudo dpkg -i openstego_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb 
[sudo] password for aaron:

$ sudo apt-get install -f
Reading package lists... Done

It created the folder /usr/share/openstego and created a link in my Applications dock. When I click the link to open it, I see this error

I tried to run the script manually and cannot.

$ ls /usr/share/openstego/
lib  openstego  openstego.png

$ /usr/share/openstego/openstego 
bash: /usr/share/openstego/openstego: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I looked at the contents of the script

$ cat /usr/share/openstego/openstego
#!/bin/sh
DIR=$( (cd -P $(dirname $0) && pwd) )
java -Xmx1024m -jar ${DIR}/lib/openstego.jar $*

and decided to try to open the jar file manually

$ java -Xmx1024m -jar openstego.jar 
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.openstego.desktop.util.UserPreferences.init(UserPreferences.java:57)
    at com.openstego.desktop.OpenStego.main(OpenStego.java:429)

I'm sure the problem is that I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what it could be. I find it very odd that the files all seem to be there but none of them seem to work.

Do you think it's a problem with my environment or the deb file?

Thanks,

Aaron

@aaron-suarez I had to run dos2unix on /usr/share/openstego/openstego to get it to work since it's using DOS line endings.

After running dos2unix on /usr/share/openstego/openstego, everything works. Thanks @jakewarren

Fix would be part of next release.
