Convenient ways to fix-up the missing library stage-packages prompt

Let’s say you have this long list of libraries to put into the stage-packages:

Files from the build host were migrated into the snap to satisfy dependencies that would otherwise not be met. This feature will be removed in a future release. If these libraries are needed in the final snap, ensure that the following are either satisfied by a stage-packages entry or through a part:

Searching them one-by-one on the Ubuntu Packages Search? Nope.

Method 1: Scripting

  1. Copy the file list (without the prompt line) and save it as, for example, missing-libraries.txt

  2. On the build host/container/VM’s shell, run:

     cut \
     --delimiter=':' \
     --fields=1 \
     <<< "$( 
         while read -r library_file; do
             dpkg-query --search "${library_file}"
         done <missing-libraries.txt
     )" \
     | env LANG=C sort \
     | uniq \
     | sed --regexp-extended 's/^(.*)$/- \1/' \
     > missing-stage-packages.yaml

  3. Open the created missing-stage-packages.yaml file and voila!

Here is my one-liner for the task :slight_smile:

dpkg -S $(cat libs.txt)|sed s/:.*$//|sort|uniq|sed 's/^/ - /'

snapcraft should get a switch to do that for us :wink:
