Install dpkg-depcheck in 12.04

  • 772

I'm attempting to compile a deb package using 12.04 but am unable to run a dpkg-depcheck on ubuntu 12.04. The command doesn't exist on the server I'm using and isn't a package in the repositories either. (It is, however, on my desktop machine) How might I install it?

Thanks in advance

12.04

    Open the terminal and type:

    sudo apt-get install devscripts

    devscripts are scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier.

    dpkg-depcheck, dpkg-genbuilddeps: determine the packages used during the build of a Debian package; useful for determining the Build-Depends control field needed. dependencies/recommendations for the dpkg-depcheck script are: build-essential, strace.
