./kdesrc-build --initial-setup
(as described here).This complains that linuxmint is not supported. However, it does support debian and AFAIK this should be kind of compatible to mint in therms of package names to be installed (right?).
The installer checks
/etc/os-release
and the ID
and ID_LIKE
entries.Mint has in
/etc/os-release
:Code: Select all
VERSION="20.3 (Una)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
#...
So, when I manually add debian there, everything works:
Code: Select all
VERSION="20.3 (Una)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE=ubuntu debian
#...
- Is it correct that Linux Mint is "like" debian (in terms of this field)?
- If yes, shouldn't this be included there?
- If yes, where's the place to suggest such a change? I browsed the repos at https://github.com/linuxmint but it's not obvious to me which one contains
usr/lib/os-release
. - Offtopic: is there a CPE_NAME for Linux Mint that could be included there?
