Gvm-libs dependencies error

Jil · November 12, 2023, 9:29pm

Hello Team,

I am following the guide on the official documentation to build GVM software on Ubuntu 22.04. I however get an error while building and installing gvm-libs while installing the dependencies.

sudo apt install -y \
  libglib2.0-dev \
  libgpgme-dev \
  libgnutls28-dev \
  uuid-dev \
  libssh-gcrypt-dev \
  libhiredis-dev \
  libxml2-dev \
  libpcap-dev \
  libnet1-dev \
  libpaho-mqtt-dev

i get an error

E: Unable to locate package libpaho-mqtt-dev

I have tried to search on how to resolve this error, but am not getting a clear source. How do i resolve this error?

Should not be an issue on Ubuntu 22.04. The package is available.

Maybe you forgot a sudo apt update before? Or you are using Ubuntu 20.04 instead of 22.04? You can check that with cat /etc/os-release. The output should be similar to

Thank you bricks.
I was running the commands on Ubuntu 20.04, and the issue persisted.
On Ubuntu 22.04, everything is running smoothly.
Big thank you.

I run into another problem while building and installing pg-gvm on Ubuntu 22.04.

$ cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.3 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy

The error occurs at the step where i have to extract the pg-gvm tarball.

tar -C $SOURCE_DIR -xvzf $SOURCE_DIR/pg-gvm-$PG_GVM_VERSION.tar.gz

I get the error below:

tar: You must specify one of the '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or '--test-label' options
Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.

What could cause this? and how do i solve thi?

Please check if $SOURCE_DIR and $PG_GVM_VERSION are set.

Jil · November 20, 2023, 9:00am

Yes, i did exactly that with the commands below.

Setting the pg-gvm version to use

export PG_GVM_VERSION=22.6.1

Then installed the deps.

sudo apt install -y \
  libglib2.0-dev \
  postgresql-server-dev-14 \
  libical-dev

Downloaded PG-GVM sources:

curl -f -L https://github.com/greenbone/pg-gvm/archive/refs/tags/v$PG_GVM_VERSION.tar.gz -o $SOURCE_DIR/pg-gvm-$PG_GVM_VERSION.tar.gz
curl -f -L https://github.com/greenbone/pg-gvm/releases/download/v$PG_GVM_VERSION/pg-gvm-$PG_GVM_VERSION.tar.gz.asc -o $SOURCE_DIR/pg-gvm-$PG_GVM_VERSION.tar.gz.asc

Verified the source file:

gpg --verify $SOURCE_DIR/pg-gvm-$PG_GVM_VERSION.tar.gz.asc $SOURCE_DIR/pg-gvm-$PG_GVM_VERSION.tar.gz

The output showed my source is okay:

gpg: Signature made 26 Julai 2023 12:18:16 alasiri EAT
gpg:                using RSA key 8AE4BE429B60A59B311C2E739823FAA60ED1E580
gpg: Good signature from "Greenbone Community Feed integrity key" [ultimate]

But on extracting the tarball:

$ tar -C $SOURCE_DIR -xvzf $SOURCE_DIR/pg-gvm-$PG_GVM_VERSION.tar.gz
tar: You must specify one of the '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or '--test-label' options
Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.

What am i skipping out ?

I am really sure you didn’t set SOURCE_DIR. Please verify that echo $SOURCE_DIR shows the correct directory.
