Convert DEB files You may asking for what reason would I have to change over a DEB bundle into Arch Linux bundle while AUR, the biggest un-official programming archive, has all product in it? Genuine! Be that as it may,
a few bundles can’t be ordered (for instance, shut source bundles) or can’t be worked from AUR for different reasons like blunder amid aggregating or inaccessible reliance documents.
Or on the other hand, the engineer is excessively lethargic, making it impossible to construct a bundle in AUR or s/he doesn’t care to make an AUR bundle.
The reasons could be many. In such cases, we can utilize this speedy technique to change over DEB bundles into Arch Linux bundles.
Convert DEB files Debtap – Convert DEB Packages Into Arch Linux Packages
Convert DEB files For this reason, we will utilize an utility called “Debtap”. It stands DEB To Arch (Linux) Package.
Debtap is accessible in AUR, so you can introduce it utilizing the AUR partner apparatuses, for example, Yay.
To introduce debtap utilizing pacaur, run:
[CC]$ yippee – S debtap[/CC]
What’s more, ensure your Arch framework ought to have bash, binutils, pkgfile and fakeroot bundles introduced.
Subsequent to introducing Debtap and all previously mentioned conditions, run the accompanying order to make/refresh pkgfile and debtap database.
[CC]$ sudo debtap – u[/CC]
Test yield would be:

==> Generating base gathering bundles list…
==> All means effectively completed![/CC]
You should run the above direction at any rate once.
Presently, it’s the ideal opportunity for bundle change.
To change over any DEB bundle, say Quadrapassel, to Arch Linux bundle utilizing debtap, do:
[CC]$ debtap quadrapassel_3.22.0-1.1_arm64.deb[/CC]
The above order will change over the given .deb document into an Arch Linux bundle.
The bundle transformation will take from a couple of moments to a few minutes relying on your CPU speed. Get some espresso.
Test yield would be:
[CC]==> Extracting bundle information…
==> Fixing conceivable catalogs structure differencies…
==> Generating .PKGINFO document…
:: Enter Packager name:
quadrapassel
:: Enter bundle permit (you can enter various licenses comma isolated):
GPL
*** Creation of .PKGINFO record in advancement. It might take a couple of minutes, kindly pause…
Cautioning: These conditions (depend = fields) couldn’t be converted into Arch Linux bundles names:
gsettings-backend
==> Checking and producing .INSTALL record (if necessary)…
:: If you need to alter .PKGINFO and .INSTALL records (in a specific order),
squeeze (1) For vi (2) For nano (3) For default editorial manager (4) For a custom supervisor or some other key to proceed:
==> Generating .MTREE document…
==> Creating last bundle…
==> Package effectively made!
==> Removing remaining records…[/CC]
Note: Quadrapassel bundle is as of now accessible in the Arch Linux official archives. I utilized it only for show reason.
In the event that you would prefer not to answer any inquiries amid bundle transformation,
utilize – q banner to sidestep all inquiries, aside from altering metadata file(s).
[CC]$ debtap – q quadrapassel_3.22.0-1.1_arm64.deb[/CC]
To sidestep all inquiries (not suggested however), utilize – Q hail.
[CC]$ debtap – Q quadrapassel_3.22.0-1.1_arm64.deb[/CC]
Once the transformation is done,
you can introduce the recently changed over bundle utilizing “pacman” in your Arch framework as demonstrated as follows.
[CC]$ sudo pacman – U <package-name>[/CC]
To show the assistance area, utilize – h signal:
[CC]$ debtap – h
Sentence structure: debtap [options] package_filename
Options:
– h – h – help – help Prints this assistance message
– u – u – refresh – refresh Update debtap database
– q – q – calm – calm Bypass all inquiries,
aside from altering metadata file(s)
– Q – Q – Quiet – Quiet Bypass all inquiries (not prescribed)
– s – s – pseudo – pseudo Create a pseudo-64-bit bundle from a 32-bit .deb bundle
– w – w – wipeout – Wipeout variants from all conditions, clashes and so on.
