[SOLVED] Raspbian (Debian 11): how to install a specific new package?

floppy_stuttgart · 01-30-2023, 09:32 AM

Hello,
due to a (perhaps) bug of ipp-usb version (installed 0.9.17-3),
since I see new version "Now in release 0.9.18" is there; here the bug subject https://github.com/OpenPrinting/ipp-usb/issues/28
is there any recommendation how to upgrade that package only on my pi system?
(I have some printing problems).

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

didnt upgrade to that last version-

You could try to install it from Debian Backports.

or install it from Testing/Sid.

https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation
http://ircbots.debian.net/factoids/f...e+sid+backport
Also see https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingFormalBackports

Simple Sid Backport
First check if it is in Backports
1) Add the backports repo to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
sudo apt update
apt policy packagename
If it is you can install it from backports by doing:
sudo apt install -t bullseye-backports packagename
If not continue the steps to backport it from Sid:
2) Add a deb-src line for sid (not a deb line!) to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
3) sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential packaging-dev debian-keyring devscripts equivs
sudo apt build-dep packagename
4) apt -b source packagename
5) sudo apt install packagename-ver.deb

For versions newer than sid see <uupdate>.
uupdate (in the <devscripts> package) upgrades a source code package from an upstream revision, or e.g. if the newest foo in debian is 1.2,
and upstream is at 1.4: apt-get source foo; wget -nd http://foo.org/foo-1.4.tar.gz; cd foo-1.2; uupdate ../foo-1.4.tar.gz

Package recompile:
1) Add a <deb-src> line for your current release to your sources.list
2) apt update; apt install build-essential devscripts fakeroot; apt build-dep packagename
3) as any user, apt-get source packagename
4) cd packagename-version/; ask me about <debian/rules>;
5) dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us 6) as root, apt install ../packagename-version.deb.

Actually, 9.23 is the current version. Upstream version is on that github you pointed out. Debian Sid also has 9.23, so the easiest way for you to install it is backport from there.

Thanks a lot. My sources looks to be from raspberrypi.org and not debian.org. See below. Before I start messing up, both lines added will not do it worser and will be compatible? not sure. See my remark at the bottom.

FAT Letters: todays line

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Quote:

deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free

Remark: I have asked the https://forums.raspberrypi.com if they can update the package ipp-usb of pi OS to 9.23 (looks like above could mess-up my system when I see this https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=345410)

Usually you just add the deb-src line for sid. That one is completely safe and you can't mess anything up with it because it's source code packages only.
If you add the regular deb line for sid, be sure to remove it and `apt update` again before you run any `apt upgrade` or you'll end up converting to sid, so that one be super careful. You usually don't have to add that line tho.

The idea is you're taking the source code used to build it for sid, but building it for your current OS with your current libraries. So yes, fully compatible.

another way to do the same thing is `sudo apt edit-sources`

Hi,

as per craigevil's second suggestion, I also suggest you backport it yourself. See https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation

You have to add a deb-src line for sid to your sources. That is step 2 in craigevil's instructions.

so

Code:

sudo apt edit sources

and add:

Quote:

deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

then update package database:

Code:

sudo apt update

You need to install build dependencies:

Code:

sudo apt build-dep ipp-usb

Then build the new package from source:

Code:

apt -b source ipp-usb

and install it:

Code:

sudo apt install ./ipp-usb*.deb

I see above you edited and looks like you got it installed, congrats!
