Test Debian Package Dependencies

This section describes Debian package dependency tests.

• sudo apt-get install based installation:

  This test can only be done on the target system, as sudo apt-get install does not support install directories (besides root).

  From the target system, run sudo apt-get install nvidia-driveos_<DRIVEOS_RELEASE>.deb. Check that all Debian packages are installed with dpkg –list.

• sudo apt-get remove nvidia-driveos uninstalls all packages.

  Verify that all Debian packages were uninstalled with dpkg –list.

• sudo dpkg –install based installation:

  This test can run on the host system in "fake" root environment.

  Verify that the installation fails if the dependent Debian packages are missing:

  • Install nvidia-driveos_<DRIVEOS_RELEASE>.deb.

    sudo dpkg --force-architecture --admindir=
    $test_base_dir/fakeroot/var/lib/dpkg --instdir=
    $test_base_dir/package-name_root/ --force-depends 
    --install absolute_path_of_debian_package

    The dpkg returns with an error, listing any modules that must be installed first (in this case, all other Debian packages).

  • Install all remaining Debian packages

    Install nvidia-driveos_<DRIVEOS_RELEASE>.deb.

The installation passes.
