Can't use Debian repository with Devuan Excalibur / Debian Trixie #336
Comments
Debian started using the bundled version of re2 in Bookworm and (presumably) Sid a while ago (libre2-9 was missing a function in the version included with Debian that caused Tensorflow to fail to build). This packaging hasn't been updated since before that change. In addition, libre2-9 isn't packaged in Trixie, but is packaged in Sid, for some reason. |
Ok, so... is it possible to arrange for an apt repository which is compatible with Trixie? |
That is forthcoming. With the conversion framework under the I haven't looked into Devuan yet. Is it enough to provide Debian-built packages to support that distro? |
I haven't been able to get the convert/ packaging to work for me, which is why I went back to updating the Debian packaging for Chromium 120.
If I had to guess, Devuan probably doesn't make any changes to Chromium because it doesn't depend on systemd directly. |
Could you show me what problems it's giving you, so I can reproduce them? (Best in a separate issue, of course.) That piece is very much at the "it should be working" stage... and if I can save you the trouble of more or less retreading Debian's debianization work, then there's good reason to fix whatever is breaking.
And I presume their releases are matched to Debian's (same glibc version, etc.). Just need to make sure whether a separate build (or even separate source) will be required. First-class support for the distro will be just an incremental addition on top of Debian/Ubuntu in any event. |
Generally the answer is yes, it is sufficient. The exception would be if chromium interacts with systemd somehow. |
libre2-9 isn't packaged in Sid anymore AFAICT. I was able to retrieve it from here for a recent installation; I installed it with |
@salfter, which package of ungoogled-chromium are you using? |
If I remember right, I was following the directions at https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-debian?tab=readme-ov-file, which in turn links to https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Aungoogled_chromium&package=ungoogled-chromium. I've since replaced Debian with Arch, which for me has resolved several other problems in addition to this one. |
I see. That package you were trying to install is ooooooold. There is an alternative process for providing ungoogled-chromium for Debian, but I am still working on the automation that will keep the download page up-to-date. Sorry to hear Debian didn't work out for you, but you're in good hands with Arch. |
I've followed the instructions for apt-based installation on Debian, on my Devuan GNU/Linux Excalibur (which is basically Debian Trixie without systemd). I get:
