Debian-Stretch: 'dpkg' required. Debian installer will be unavailable

[MarxBrother 2]

Trying to build Eddie under  Debian-Stretch as described here: (Method 1 (direct build))

 

https://airvpn.org/topic/12760-how-can-i-compile-the-source-code/

 

Launch repository/build_linux.sh

 

 

Sorry, must be run as root, because need to chown to root:root on some file for example Debian docs

 

Launched in root terminal results in:

 

'dpkg' required. Debian installer will be unavailable.

 

I am runnig Debian stable (Stretch), and apper tells me I have dpkg 1.18.25 installed

 

What is going wrong?

Try installing dpkg-dev via

apt-get install dpkg-dev

Thank you for your quick response, giganerd!

 

This idea already came to my mind, but installing dpkg-dev didn't change a thing.

 

Any other idea?

Can reproduce. I can see there is some problem with detecting the output of dpkg because it's called successfully:

$ sudo ./build_linux.sh verbose
Eddie deployment v1.5 - Dienstag, 20. November 2018 - 17:10:20
[...]
Shell: dpkg --version
Shell, filename: sh, arguments: -c 'dpkg --version'
Output: Debian »dpkg« Paketmanagement-Programm Version 1.19.2 (amd64).
