I have upgrade my ubuntu from 21.04 to 21.10 and I have got the problem with install any packages after build it as deb file with this command

dpkg-deb -b DEB

I have got the compress file with tar.zst and that extension can not apply on dreambox

uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up

How to build deb with tar.xz ?! Or How to download dpkg ?!!

    Which package are you talking about? What do you mean by installing the source file(s)? – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Oct 26 '21 at 11:37

  • Can you extract the source tarball and run debuild there? Assuming you have taken care of the debian directory structure correctly, it should work. Without more details, we really cannot help you further. We may be able to help if you share a source code repository (in GitHub/GitLab) – Archisman Panigrahi Oct 26 '21 at 11:45
  • I have got the compress file with tar.zst and that extension can not apply on dreambox What do you mean by that? How did you get the .tar.zst file? Usually .pkg.tar.zst files are for Arch Linux. – Archisman Panigrahi Oct 26 '21 at 11:48

    As I said I use this command to build deb file dpkg-deb -b DEB so I have these files inside deb file control.tar.zst and data.tar.zst should be I have got like this control.tar.xz and data.tar.xz .... So If I try to install the deb file I got this error dpkg-deb: error: archive '/tmp/test.deb' uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up – Fair Bird Oct 26 '21 at 11:56

    Do you get the same issue if you run debuild in the source directory, instead if dpkg-deb -b DEB ? – Archisman Panigrahi Oct 26 '21 at 13:00
  • /ipkg/ncam/DEB$ debuild debuild: fatal error at line 679: cannot find readable debian/changelog anywhere! Are you in the source code tree? – Fair Bird Oct 26 '21 at 14:02

    In that case, you need to create a proper debian/changelog and debian/control. – Archisman Panigrahi Oct 26 '21 at 16:04
  • What is your directory structure? Post the output of the command tree in your source directory. – Archisman Panigrahi Oct 27 '21 at 04:24
  • . ├── DEBIAN │   └── control └── tmp └── installNcam.sh 2 directories, 2 files``` – Fair Bird Oct 27 '21 at 12:50

AFAICT, it should be dpkg-deb -Zxz -b DEB, where -Z specifies compression method xz.
