create deb file not install ,given error. about termux-create-package HOT 11 CLOSED

@yeasin6152 Perhaps there problem with termux-create-package - there is something wrong with tar archive generation.

I suggest you to rebuild your deb file in this way:

dpkg-deb -R apktool_2018.03.20.1_aarch64.deb unpacked
dpkg-deb -b unpacked apktool_2018.03.20.1_aarch64_fixed.deb

You will get file apktool_2018.03.20.1_aarch64_fixed.deb which can be installed with dpkg -i.

Seems that termux-create-package is not storing parent directories in TAR:

$ tar tf data.tar.xz 
data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/apktool
data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/7z.sh
data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/apktool-2.0.1.jar
data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/apktool-2.0.3.jar
data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/apktool-2.2.4.jar

Normally, it should be like this:

$ tar tf data.tar.xz 
./
./data/
./data/data/
./data/data/com.termux/
./data/data/com.termux/files/
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/apktool
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/7z.sh
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/apktool-2.0.1.jar
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/apktool-2.0.3.jar
./data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/apktool/apktool-2.2.4.jar

So it seems that tool dpkg-deb does thing much better than termux-create-package.

Which OS are you using? What's the output of tar --version?

Try installing the tar package instead of using the busybox version:
pkg in tar

Could you provide the faulty .deb file?

I think it is problem have
or tar tools or xz-utils

No problem with tar or xz-utils. I guess that you have problem with manifest.json as I used termux-create-package to create deb files and they installed without error.

Can you post contents of your manifest.json file ?
