First submission so feedback appreciated.

The CI failed, so I submitted this bug report to Termius' Customer Support page:

---

Hey, I am a licensed Termius user, and submitted a GitHub PR to the deb-get project to add Termius at https://github.com//pull/902

Unfortunately, Termius failed to install, with the error:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/termius-app.postinst: line 10: update-desktop-database: command not found

The update-desktop-database command is provided by the desktop-file-utils package, which doesn't appear to be installed in the ubuntu-22.04 GitHub VM (actually Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS per https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/actions/runs/6434539335/job/17473961566#step:1:2 ) instance that the CI uses.

Is the issue fixable on my end, or does the .deb file need to be repackaged?

Thanks,
Ross

You need to match the installed app exactly or remove will not work. s/termius/termius-app/ in manifest and rename the package definition file to termius-app

They really need to fix their dependency. The CI doesn't install a desktop into the test environment, hence the lack of desktop-file-utils (it is included in any of the desktop apt installation "tasks").

We need to think about improving the CI testing on several fronts. I'll add this to the issues list.

If you rename the package file to match the application (termius-app) I see no need to wait for upstream to improve their packaging before merging this, but that would be the correct thing to do.

Thanks for your contribution.

@philclifford Done. Thanks for your help. Still getting up to speed here.
