Sdk: Issue with Debian: Not resolving packages in Jessie

[codemonkeyrawks]

Debian "Jessie" has no package "liblldb-3.6". When it trys to install it fails.
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=liblldb-3.6

Here is what I get running:

sudo dpkg -i dotnet-ubuntu-x64.latest.deb

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dotnet-nightly:

dotnet-nightly depends on liblldb-3.6; however:
Package liblldb-3.6 is not installed. ( this is resolved)
dotnet-nightly depends on liblttng-ust0; however:
Package liblttng-ust0:amd64 is not installed.

One fix might be to use: http://llvm.org/apt/

{
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://llvm.org/apt/jessie/ llvm-toolchain-jessie-3.6 main
deb-src http://llvm.org/apt/jessie/ llvm-toolchain-jessie-3.6 main

sudo apt-get -f install

OR:

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install liblldb-3.6

sudo dpkg -i dotnet-ubuntu-x64.latest.deb

}

I will take a look into this more tomorrow if I get a chance. It may be something that can be added to the deb file in resolving the package. It would be nice to have a built package something like what nodejs does: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/nodejs to where you could just install it.

@codemonkeyrawks Our debian package is currently targeted at Ubuntu 14.04, however it should still work on debian Jessie.

These error messages would be expected when using dpkg to configure your package.
If you use apt-get install dotnet-nightly do you see the same issues?

[codemonkeyrawks]

@brthor : Is there a deb-src line I should be adding in for installing dotnet-nightly.

@codemonkeyrawks have you tried http://dotnet.github.io/getting-started/? The feed setup instructions are all there. The dotnet-nightly package comes on the same feed [dotnet package does not exist yet. It will come to life when we ship Beta]

[codemonkeyrawks]

@piotrpMSFT : I was following (http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/getting-started/installing-on-linux.html) and (http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/dnx/console.html).I will look at the getting started you provided.

Same issue after installing dotnet-nightly on Debian. Had to add the llvm feed manually. Worse that http://llvm.org/apt/ no longer lists version 3.6. Users might have hard time finding out how to add a source feed to have liblldb-3.6 package available on Debian.

[moozzyk]

Just hit this as well. Looks like you can add the following package source:
deb [arch=amd64] http://llvm.org/apt/trusty/ llvm-toolchain-trusty-3.6 main
to work the issue around but it's hacky...

[brthor]

Until we are publishing a debian:jessie specific .deb @moozzyk 's workaround is probably the best way to go

[codemonkeyrawks]

I found my answer for now: Feel free to port it however fit.

Toolchain Update for Debian:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://llvm.org/apt/jessie/ llvm-toolchain-jessie-3.6 main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/llvm-toolchain.list'

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://llvm.org/apt/jessie/ llvm-toolchain-jessie-3.6 main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/llvm-toolchain.list'

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install liblldb-3.6

.Net Core for Debian

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet/ trusty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver apt-mo.trafficmanager.net --recv-keys 417A0893

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install dotnet=1.0.0.001598-1

Thanks for the workaround, @codemonkeyrawks. This should hold folks over until we have native DEB packages available. dotnet/cli#3944

[brthor]

A note here, the liblldb-3.6 dependency has been removed for the WIP debian deb packages so this issue won't surface again.
