Limitation Reasoning Possible workaround Fix planned? Issue reference
No dependency resolver xdeb-install can be viewed as more of a not-so-smart dpkg for Void Linux with the ability to download packages rather than apt for Void Linux.

While apt is able to resolve dependencies and everything that comes with that, dpkg is only able to check whether a package depends on another package or not and will even prevent you from installing packages with unresolved dependencies. It doesn't do the whole dependency resolution stuff.

xdeb-install on the other hand doesn't even know about the dependencies of a Debian package in the first place.
None that I'm aware of No None
xdeb-install might not be able to find xdeb When xdeb is located twice on your system, xdeb-install might not be able to find it, due to how Go's exec.LookPath() method works. Remove all instances of xdeb from your system and run xdeb-install xdeb once. That should fix it. No https://github.com/xdeb-org/xdeb-install/issues/18
