## Re: [SOLVED] No-go on Mint 17 -- Install saved ISO?

Wed Mar 30, 2016 2:24 pm

ewald used newer versions of live-* packages than the ones in mint-17. (and older than what's in jessie).
I used the version in mint-17, and I had to create my own DEBIAN directory and move files around before repacking it. Command-line instructions are below, but I don't guarantee that what I did is correct. It does install, but I haven't tried running refractasnapshot with it.
bonez, please post your instructions for comparison. I'm assuming you did it differently.
@dzz: interesting idea. If I change live-config to recommends, then I think I should also add a check to see if it's installed and a warning with explanation if it's not installed.

Code:
  `### Rebuild live-config-sysvinit in mint-17 ###
  # Get the live-config-sysvinit deb and copy it to a work directory.
  aptitude download live-config-sysvinit
  mkdir work
  cp live-config-sysvinit_3.0.23-1+deb8u1_all.deb work/
  # Go into the work dir and unpack the .deb archive.
  cd work
  ar x live-config-sysvinit_3.0.23-1+deb8u1_all.deb
  # Create a directory to hold the files that will be used to create the new deb,
  # and unpack the control and data archives into that directory.
  mkdir ive-config-sysvinit_3.0.23-1+deb8u1_mod
  cd live-config-sysvinit_3.0.23-1+deb8u1_mod
  tar -xvzf ../control.tar.gz
  tar -xvJf ../data.tar.xz
  # Edit the control file, create a DEBIAN directory and move the files into it.
  nano control # change 'Depends: sysvinit (>=2.86)' to 'Depends: sysvinit-utils (>=2.88)'
  mkdir DEBIAN
  find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec mv {} DEBIAN \;
  # The files are now arranged as in the tree output below.
  # Move up one directory level and build the deb file.
  cd ..
  dpkg-deb -b live-config-sysvinit_3.0.23-1+deb8u1_mod/
  # Install it. (Run this one as root.)
  dpkg -i live-config-sysvinit_3.0.23-1+deb8u1_mod.deb
