Issue in installing debian packages in SDK

[Rajashree Sankar]

Hello,

We tried installing  project needed debian packages in the isar sdk with the command

dpkg -i <pkg-name>.deb

Below is a sample of errors we encountered related to permissions

/usr/bin/mandb: fopen /var/cache/man/zh_CN/28107: Permission denied
/usr/bin/mandb: fopen /var/cache/man/sv/28107: Permission denied

We tried with sudo to solve the permission error but it did not help.

Can you guide us on how to install debian packages in SDK?

Thanks and Regards,

Rajashree Sankar

Sounds like https://bugs.launchpad.net/nexenta/+bug/335056. We should check
that /var/cache/man is recursively owned by man:man by default. If not, it's
probably a bug somewhere.

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.

Have a look at SDK_PREINSTALL / SDK_INSTALL.

Yes those are the values that should be used when you have the chance
to generate that SDK. In case you received the SDK and are writing
applications for someone else, you might find yourself in the situation
where you need to install new dependencies yourself.
Ideally that would be done with "apt-get", "dpkg -i" is really the last
resort and should be avoided

Make sure to remember which ones you need and provide that list
together with your application. It will need to go into debian/control
as runtime or build depend.

Hello Jan,

The SDKCHROOT_PREINSTALL worked well.I tried installing v4l utils package but one of its dependencies(specific version) is not in debian pool.

Any help on how to solve the issue?

The error messages were

You need to refresh your isar-bootstrap targets or use a local debian
snapshot. Those package versions have been superseded by newer ones. In
order to avoid inconsistent builds, the package list is only taken once
during bootstrap. If that was taken before an update and Debian dropped
the older packages from the archive, you see such errors.
