Missing Debian packaging tools

Table of Contents

Description

The Debian packaging tools allow creating a Debian package from a CrossOver bottle for distribution or archival (and also repackaging CrossOver with cxrepackage).

Resolution

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix packagingdeb

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

  • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu dpkg
  • Debian : apt-get install debhelper dpkg-dev fakeroot

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The commands usually also apply to derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
