[SOLVED] installing a debtap package needs nvidia

dear, y'all.
today i wanted to install a software called as "Nekoray" which is an advanced v2ray client with much more things, and i used debtap to install it on arch.

i simply did:

debtap nekoray-3.26-2023-12-09-debian-x64.deb

and the output was:

==> Extracting package data...
==> Fixing possible directories structure differencies...
==> Generating .PKGINFO file...

:: Enter Packager name (can be left blank):

:: Enter package license (can be left blank, you can enter multiple licenses comma separated):

*** Creation of .PKGINFO file in progress. It may take a few minutes, please wait...
grep: warning: stray \ before /
grep: warning: stray \ before /
grep: warning: stray \ before /
grep: warning: stray \ before /
grep: warning: stray \ before /
grep: warning: stray \ before /
grep: warning: stray \ before /
grep: warning: stray \ before /

==> Checking and generating .INSTALL file (if necessary)...

:: If you want to edit .PKGINFO and .INSTALL files (in this order), press (1) For vi (2) For nano (3) For default editor (4) For a custom editor or any other key to continue: 

==> Generating .MTREE file...

==> Creating final package...

==> Package successfully created!
==> Removing leftover files...

after that, simply used yay (and i tested pacman too):

sudo pacman -U nekoray-3.26-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

and the output was:

loading packages...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
warning: dependency cycle detected:

[ins]Total Download Size:    5658.83 MiB
Total Installed Size:  24244.30 MiB

[ins]:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 

and well, i dont want an installation for nvidia currently, because my graphics card is nvidia 820 m which isn't supported by latest driver so i need to install legacy-390xx to get it work. ( and i need to downgrade my kernel to LTS one before installation)

Re: [SOLVED] installing a debtap package needs nvidia

There are three flavours of nekoray in the AUR. Why not use one of them?

Please use [code][/code] tags, bbs predates markdown by approximately your age. Edit your post in this regard.

The cause isn't "debtap" but the debian package simply has this and some other dependencies, follow Stefan's suggestion.

thanks for your guide, but even if i be able to install nekoray without debtap, i still may need debtap for some packages, that's why i want to fix this issue.

You've used [ ins ] tags, change them to [ code ] tags.

The current version of makepkg will unpack .debs automatically btw: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/debt … ent-912925
