Deploying JavaFX on Ubuntu (to a .deb package) -- Installed-Size error

I've already posted this to the NetBeans forums several times over the past 4-5 days, but no answers, so I thought I'd try here, since perhaps this is JavaFX related.
Essentially, I'm getting a "package is of bad quality" error (due to bad DEBIAN/control field "Installed-Size") when I attempt to install a .deb I've created with NetBeans when I install it on Ubuntu 12.04
Here are all the gory details:
http://forums.netbeans.org/viewtopic.php?t=51447
-also, a link to SO as well-
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12658336/netbeans-javafx-build-debian-installed-size
Has anyone here successfully deployed to Ubuntu (or Debian itself) and you are not getting this "package is of bad quality" warning when installing? Or know how to fix it?
(Please see my last post--at bottom--at the netbeans forum link above for all the places--multiple links in that post--that I've referenced in an attempt to figure this out!)
My app runs fine, I just click 'Ignore and install' button--but that's really dirty and certainly undeliverable to a client that way!
Thanks
~ Brad

To avoid the warning you can do this:
in file <name-of-project>/nbproject/configurations.xml
Add a line between <packInfoList> and </packInfoList>
with the estimated installed size like :
<packInfoListElem name="Installed-Size" value="528" mandatory="true"/>
then rebuild your package.
Documentation of "Installed-Size" is here:

Debtap - A script to convert .deb packages to Arch Linux packages

I wrote this script in my free time to help people who, for any reason, want to convert a .deb to an Arch Linux package. It works in a similar way with alien (which converts .deb packages to .rpm packages and vice versa), but, unlike alien, it is focused on accuracy of conversion, trying to translate Debian/Ubuntu packages names to the correct Arch Linux packages names and store them in the dependencies fields of the .PKGINFO metadata in the final package. In other words, it won't only create an Arch package with the data of the original .deb package, but also it will try to create a valid and as accurate as possible .PKGINFO metadata file in the converted package. It uses pkgfile and pacman utilities to achieve this accuracy. The final package can be installed like any local Arch Linux package. Debtap is now available on AUR!
FAQ
Q: What "debtap" stands for?
A: DEB To Arch (Linux) Package
Q: Isn't better to download an official package or write a PKGBUILD in case I need to compile a package or convert a .deb package to an Arch Linux package?
A: Sure it is, and I truely encourage you to do so. Debtap was written to create packages that either cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons (error during compiling or unavailable files), as a quick 'n' dirty solution and an extra option for creating Arch Linux packages for Arch Linux users.
Q: So debtap will help me only in case I need to convert specific .deb packages to Arch Linux packages?
A: No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, by converting its .deb package to Arch package with debtap, thanks to the packages names translator function inside the script, it can help you determine which dependencies are needed for the package you write the PKGBUILD for and complete the necessary fields.
Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?
A: You need to have installed these dependencies: bash, binutils (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), pkgfile, and fakeroot. You must run at least once (preferably recently) "debtap -u" to create/update pkgfile and debtap database (you do this with root privileges).
Q: Debtap needs a lot of time to convert a package. So, why this is happening?
A: Like I said, debtap is focused on accuracy. It won't just unpack a .deb package and then repackage its data to an Arch Linux package, ignoring metadata. Depending on the speed of your processor and the package itself, conversion can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?
A: Debtap cannot be 100% accurate for several reasons, the main reason for this is the complexity of packages names. If you want to check the freshly generated .PKGINFO and .INSTALL (this is optional file) metadata files or even fix the untranslated packages names inside .PKGINFO, debtap offers you the option to edit these files before compressing the final package.
Q: How do I use debtap?
A: The syntax is quite simple actually: debtap [option] package_filename
For example: debtap world-of-goo-demo_1.0_i386.deb
Any recommendations or questions for debtap are welcomed!

Install a .deb package

Howdy,
I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this: I have a .deb package for a program that I installed in Ubuntu. Now I want to install it in Arch but can't find anywhere for a way to install it. I've tried with deb2targz and successfully extracted the contents... But after that I haven't got a clue as to what I have to do. I tried manually compiling it with make and make install, but no success. I found this post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55148
But the aur package the post is referring to doesn't exist anymore. So I'm stumped.
Help, please.

magyckleo wrote:The program is CrossOver Pro, but I have the .deb package for the 64 bit version that works fine on my Ubuntu. It's not the demo that I found on AUR, it's the full edition that the codeweavers people gave out some time ago. That's why I want to install it, but haven't found a way to create the pkg.tar.gz that Arch Linux needs to install it. All I could do is use deb2targz to turn it into a tar.gz file, but when I try to do make and make install to compile it from that file I get squat, so I'm stumped, hehehehe
Just use http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14187
Bump the version / update the md5sum as needed.

[SOLVED] Error with Wickr deb package

Hi people, I was trying to running wickr on Arch Linux. (I am under Gnome), I used debtap utility, attempted to convert wickr deb package to work with pacman but failed with this dependency:
warning: cannot resolve "libavutil52|libavutil54", a dependency of "wickr"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: wickr: requires libavutil52|libavutil54
I am pretty sure I have already got the libavutil-52 installed and does not help. I even managed to convert libavutil54 from debian and installed but still no progress.
Any help? thx in advance.

Hi sakuya16,
the | character does not work as logical or inside the PKGBUILD, depends is an array of strings separated by withe spaces. Also you must specify only one version of libavutil and its name is libavutil-52 and not libavutil52. For more information read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#depends
--edit:
Yeah, tomk is right, try to see if it works with the current libavutil.so.54 first.

Using deb packages after converting with deb2targz - how to?

I've been trying to install "insight", an IDE for assembly language, which is available in the AUR, but there are problems with the AUR package (mainly with the source from Redhat and my version of gcc, I believe). So, I thought a DEB package would be easier, and after googling about it, I found that I needed to use deb2targz to convert the DEB for use in Arch. But I couldn't find any instructions on how to use deb2targz.
I deb2targz'd the deb file in my home directory and then did "tar xzvf insight_6.8.1-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines1_i386".
I thought this would create a subdirectory with a PKGBUILD, but that was newbish wishful thinking.
The tar command created a ~/usr directory with subdirectories: ~/usr/bin, ~/usr/lib, and ~/usr/share.
Should I now try to make a PKGBUILD from these directories somehow? Do I compress them to xz and use that with pacman -U ? Or am I supposed to simply copy the files/subdirectories to the corresponding directories in the root directory (ie, ~/usr/bin to /usr/bin)?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Scimmia wrote:
forget deb2targz, it's pretty much useless for things like this.
there are a number of examples on this forum of making PKDBUILDs for deb files, but it's not as fool proof as it sounds. You have to pay attention to what version of each lib the binary is linked against, as well as the actual name of the lib if they rename it. It's almost universally better to build from source if it's available.
A quick look at the mailing list shows that the author suggests building from CVS right now instead of using the release which was in 2009. I'm doing a quick test right now to see how that goes.
Thanks for looking into it. I was using the *-1a version and the source that commentator "sl0t" suggested in his PKGBUILD - except I had problems with the parentheses and apostrophes on the install= line, so I used that line without paren. and apost's.

I have fixed the granite-bzr PKGBUILD already, and added the
provide=(granite)
line, but that still results in the same error. I had thought about the zeitgeist versioning too, but AFAIK zeitgeist 0.8.1.1-1 is the latest version and I think this is just the Ubuntu naming for it. (initially slingshot is written for elementaryOS which is based on Ubuntu...)
EDIT: Zeitgeist 0.8.1.1-1 is indeed the latest version available. Also, here is the PKGBUILD I used for granite:

ARD fails CS6 package install

I am having a problem with pushing Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 (created via AAMEE 3.1) via ARD 3.6.1 to client Macs that meet the system requirements of a CS6 package. After a long period of time attempting to install the package, ARD fails on "install package". ARD shows the problem as "could not be installed. Error message: "Running package scripts..." (In a couple of cases, the package install hung up at "97%" before failing with this error).
I can install the source media or my Adobe package ok from the local Mac, but not the network.
My configuration of the package within AAMEE:
disable fonts
disable EULA
disable Adobe Product Improvement Program
disable AIR
Ignore conflicts deploy to default directory
I download and add updates automatically
Package is serialized
I will retest today, though I would like any thoughts anybody has on "general troubleshooting" or "best practices" that I may have missed. In my testing today, I will make sure to reboot the client machinge and keep it logged off while ARD pushes the package.
Thanks.

Hi,
There can me many reasons for failure. We need to see the PDApp.log file of the machine where install is failing to tell you the reason of failure. The log file is formed at /usr/Library/Logs/PDApp.log.
Please mail the log at [email protected]

Deploy node.js project failed with msnodesql driver install error

I want to deploy a node.js project on Azure Website
I use mssql with the "tedious" driver to access my database
But I got deployment error with "msnosesql" (another driver for mssql)
install.js: Unable to download msnodesql-0.2.1-v0.10-ia32.msi
I found some solution, change the path to fix this download error
but after that I got another error
remote: install.js: Error: Command failed: Access is denied.
I seems that I don't have the permission to install this driver ?
Is there any way to solve this problem?

you cannot install new msi packages in Azure Websites due to multi tenant nature.
As alternative you can use following MS SQL driver for Node.JS

HDD sometimes "hangs" and makes repetitive noises after package instal

So I installed Arch the other day on my old computer, after getting tired of Ubuntu's slowness and outdated versions of software. But I seem to be having a problem. Now keep in mind that this HDD works fine at all other times, and the SMART data seems OK.
When pacman is actually installing a package (i.e. "(1/2) installing [package]"), the process sometimes hangs, while the hard drive is making a repetitive noise. This only happens directly after the package install. The system does not freeze while it is doing this. At all other times, the hard drive behaves normally and the system runs smoothly. Is there anything that pacman reads/writes to directly after the package install that could be causing this?
EDIT: This seems to be happening on removal of packages as well.

- "click zzzzzzzz, click zzzzzzz, click zzzzzzz"

Are those early signs of a dying hard drive?
It's definitely not normal behavior. The HDD could be dying, or there could be data corruption. Either way... not good.
I strongly recommend that you back up any important files as soon as humanly possible.
Get anything you need off that drive... and send the computer in for service.

I am getting the following error: Unable to authenticate the package: B_SPACE_NUTRITION.itmsp ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): element "content" not allowed yet; missing required element "navLabel"" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)

I understand that there's something wrong with the TOC file (.ncx), but I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Every section of the TOC is labeled, so not sure why the navLabel issue is happenening.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

Similar issues looks like. Are you using a template other than those in iBooks Author? That's what I did, and that was definitely part of the issue.
After digging through .ibooks code for hours and still not seeing the problem, I decided to reach out to one of the Apple epub conversion affiliates in iTunes Connect. They said they could repair the file without a problem, started working on it, only to come back a week later and say they couldn't work on .ibooks or .iba files yet.
So, in complete frustration, I decided to transfer my content page by page from the blank template I downloaded from a vendor online to one of the "textbook" templates in IBA. This was a long process as I had to unlock and clear out the formatting of the template. But, once that was done and content was transferred over, all was good. I submitted/delivered the same content and preview book within the new template and it went right through the first time (all metadata was exactly the same as well).
Now, the iBookstore approval waiting process begins!
Good luck!

Hi Sadeeq,
Based on your description and the error message, it should be a timeout issue when the ADO .NET Source connects to the source database. So, please refer to the following two suggestions:
Double click on the ADO .NET Connection Manager, click the All tab, and set the “Connect Timeout” property to a bigger value. By default, it is 15 seconds.
Increase the DefaultBufferSize value of the Data Flow Task. By default, the DefaultBufferSize is 10 (MB), you can increase it to a value that is less than 100 (MB).
