Sebagai administrator sistem Debian, Anda akan sering menangani paket .deb
, mereka berisi unit fungsional yang konsisten (aplikasi, dokumentasi, dll.), yang instalasi dan perawatannya difasilitasi mereka. Oleh karena itu, ide bagus untuk mengentahui apa dan bagaimana menggunakannya.
Bab ini menjelaskan struktur dan isi paket “biner”dan “sumber”. Dahulu berkas .deb
, dapat digunakan secara langsung oleh dpkg
, ketika kemudian berisi kode sumber, sebagaimana petunjuk untuk membuat paket biner.
5.1. Struktur Paket Biner
The Debian package format is designed so that its content may be extracted on any Unix system that has the classic commands ar
, tar
, and xz
(sometimes gzip
or bzip2
). This seemingly trivial property is important for portability and disaster recovery.
Imagine, for example, that you mistakenly deleted the
dpkg
program, and that you could thus no longer install Debian packages.
dpkg
being a Debian package itself, it would seem your system would be done for... Fortunately, you know the format of a package and can therefore download the
.deb
file of the
dpkg package and install it manually (see sidebar
ALAT dpkg
, APT
dan ar
). If by some misfortune one or more of the programs
ar
,
tar
or
gzip
/
xz
/
bzip2
have disappeared, you will only need to copy the missing program from another system (since each of these operates in a completely autonomous manner, without dependencies, a simple copy will suffice). If your system suffered some even more outrageous fortune, and even these don't work (maybe the deepest system libraries are missing?), you should try the static version of
busybox
(provided in the
busybox-static package), which is even more self-contained, and provides subcommands such as
busybox ar
,
busybox tar
and
busybox xz
.

Seperti yang dapat Anda lihat, arsip ar
pada paket Debian mengompres tiga berkas:
debian-binary
. This is a text file which simply indicates the version of the .deb
file used (in 2017: version 2.0).
control.tar.gz
. Arsip ini berisi seluruh informasi-meta yang tersedia, seperti nama dan versi paket. Beberapa informasi-meta ini memungkinkan alat manajemen paket untuk menentukan jika memungkinkan untuk menginstall atau menguninstallnya, contohnya berdasarkan daftar paket yang telah ada di mesin.
data.tar.xz
. This archive contains all of the files to be extracted from the package; this is where the executable files, documentation, etc., are all stored. Some packages may use other compression formats, in which case the file will be named differently (data.tar.bz2
for bzip2, data.tar.gz
for gzip).
