Re: Is apt dependency resolution different as that of apt-ge

You can locally install a deb package with apt, and directly manage its dependencies. You cannot with apt-get. apt install <path to>/package.deb You can install a DEB package with apt-get . Try it: $ cd /home/soul/ $ curl -O http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hello/hello_2.10-2_amd64.deb $...

Re: Trying to build deb -> upstream tar error

No, try to build the official sid package in a sid system (chroot), if you still see the failures then all is good. That's a good suggestion. But it might be easier to just look at Debian's own build logs for PHP 7.3 and PHP 7.4 . It will provide the information that HoaS suggests in a fraction of ...

Re: Recent install of Debian 7 graphical issue

In principle, I agree that a more recent version of Debian would be better. You can run a recent release on old hardware. But before doing a whole reinstall, try a different desktop environment first to see if the issue is GNOME specific or occurs regardless of desktop environment. Such a test might...

Re: Trying to build deb -> upstream tar error

Speaking about tests, during the build process, several tests failed, should I be worried? I do not know enough about PHP to answer that question. What I can advise you to do -- if you still have the build log -- is to post the relevant section here, so that someone knowledgeable can examine it for...

I know there is a SURY PHP Repository, but I would like to create a Deb file myself :D In that case, take a look at Ondrej Sury's work.
