Such a warning exists. Here he is
https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
And here's a quote
Repositories that can create a FrankenDebian if used with Debian Stable:
Debian testing release (currently bullseye)
Debian unstable release (also known as sid)
Ubuntu, Mint or other derivative repositories are not compatible with Debian!
Ubuntu PPAs and other repositories created to distribute single applications

I had thought so...

We're trying to rebuild the package on a Devuan beowulf base and so avoid creating a FrankenDevuan by adding the Ubuntu repositories.

Having said that I've given up on this. Sorry OP.

Isn't there some warning about not making a frankendebian?

Although, debian and devuan repos are sometimes compatible... but combining even one ubuntu with devuan repos sounds like its just asking for trouble

Well, its more of wanting to get it to work, and learn in case I ever have to do it with another package/program in the future.

Just install the debhelper package from the beowulf-backports repository, instructions here (s/debian/devuan/g):

https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

But I really don't think this will work.

Why do you think you need the newer obs-studio version anyway?

How do I use that debhelper instead of what is already installed?

Not sure what you've done to encounter that error, sorry.

I'm just waiting for a new mono version to build in my repository, which might make the meson package build, which will get the backported obs-studio package built. I hope. I'll post back when it finishes.

But I really don't think this is going to work because the installation dependencies don't seem to be satisfiable. Sorry to waste your time with this, I should have checked more carefully yesterday.

There is this, in the folder though...
obs-studio-build-deps_26.1.2+dfsg1-1_all.deb

Maybe something can be fixed in there?

Edit... how do I get scour.pm into "@INC"

fakeroot debian/rules binary
dh binary

Edit; when I do apt-file search ... i get:

scour: /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/scour.pm

Not sure, some relevant information might be here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=886203

This is actually a bug in scour, where the scour binary and debhelper
addon moved from python-scour to python3-scour.
Neither is the right place.
scour should go into an own binary package of the same name,
and the debhelper addon could also go there.
For properly handling stretch->buster upgrades, python-scour should
depend on the new scour package.

Yeah, it needs the backported debhelper version.

But I'm trying to build a version in my openSUSE Build Service repository and it needs dwz as well, which needs a newer meson version. Oh dear. This might not work, I can't seem to build a newer meson, not sure why.

I'll try again tomorrow when I'm actually booted into a Debian system.

debhelper is already the newest version (12.1.1)

Well it showed more in the error, but it said it already fixed it.. but ended with that error (that I posted).

I unfortunately closed that terminal.

EDIT: here is what it fixed...

But still ended with previous error.

Is that the full error message?

I think you need the debhelper package from the beowulf-backports repository.

Yes installed that. What is strange is the backport method -error doesn't specify which dependency.

So I also looked in the control file, but I also don't see linux-generic listed in there .. from the backport source method

Is that the same with the linux-generic problem?
