Description

This is basically #6649 all over again, except with pgadmin4-desktop.

I am attempting to run pgadmin4-desktop on Debian.

Actual behaviour:

  • pgadmin4-desktop fails to start:

    image

    The list of missing dependencies would probably be much longer on a bare Debian install.

  • pgadmin4-desktop declared dependencies:

    Depends: pgadmin4-server (= 8.12), libatomic1, xdg-utils, python-dbus | python3-dbus

Expected behaviour:

  • pgadmin desktop starts because it has all of its dependencies installed. Specifically, /usr/pgadmin4/bin/pgadmin4 is linked against:

You need to declare dependencies on (at a minimum) libasound2, libatk1.0-0, libatk-bridge2.0-0, libatspi2.0-0, libavahi-client3, libavahi-common3, libblkid1, etc etc etc. If you need specific versions of these libraries you need to specify that too.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Debian metadata for the pgadmin4-desktop package and compare it with the dependencies reported for /usr/pgadmin4/bin/pgadmin4. Use the linked Debian policy as the requirements reference; done means the package declares the needed runtime libraries and installs successfully with its dependencies available.
