cannot find library libxcb.so.1 needed by debian issue while packaging

Asked by Arun Sivaraman

I am able to successfully create the debian packages and upload it to the PPA. However, the builds keep failing because of this, I have given the Depends as
libc6 (>= 2.31), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), libvulkan1, libwayland-client0 (>= 1.9.91), libx11-6, libxcb1

and still getting error, can anyone help

dh_shlibdeps --dpkg-shlibdeps-params=--ignore-missing-info

Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to use -l.

I assume that the packages libwayland-client0, libx11-6, libxcb1 have to be listed in the "Build-Depends:" of the source package, not in the "Depends:" of the binary package.

What @m-hampl said, but Build-Depends will need to list the -dev counterparts of those packages.

Also, you should generally use "Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}" in most cases to have library dependencies autogenerated for you, and only add specific extra runtime dependencies to that if the autogeneration process misses anything.

Thanks both @cjwatson and @m-hampl. I am able to process the upload and build the package successfully
