pajackconnect on Debian 12

[juki]

I built a DEB package following these instructions :

Build package with:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us -b

On other distributions you need to first edit the file resume-fix-pulseaudio.service and replace USERNAME with your User name (logname) and USERID with your users ID (id -u $(logname))

after install you need to run (as root)

systemctl enable resume-fix-pulseaudio.service
systemctl daemon-reload

to enable the service.

Unfortunately there is an error when i try to install the package with dpkg -i because of dh-systemd, the reason being this package is a dependancy but is not available in Debian anymore.

Does someone knows how to fix this ?

@tramp ^^^

Great question, I've encountered the same thing...

Try this:

Open the file "control" in the debian directory in an editor.

Replace the line:

Code: Select all

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, dh-systemd (>= 1.5)

with:

Code: Select all

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, debhelper (>= 9.20160709) | dh-systemd (>= 1.5)

If it works, tell @tramp about it.

It works indeed, thanks a lot !

Good to know.

Short explanation:

The toolset dh-systemd was planned as part of debhelper from the beginning (hence the name). For obvious reasons (systemd's architecture and API was prone to change somewhat) the toolset was initially developed on its own. As of the revision 9.20160709 the code was merged into debhelper. Debian made a transitional package (dh-systemd) for buster, which isn't available anymore in newer releases.

The line i have changed makes sure the build routine only uses the package "dh-systemd" when the package "debhelper" isn't available as revision 9.20160709 or greater.
