using packages-names-translator via a cli option

[Ashark]

The significant content of the debtap script is about mapping debian dependencies to arch linux dependencies. It is not easy to extract only needed places of code for this task (because it will be a really long script). But it will be good if we can check mapping via command line without actually having a .deb file.
Can you please add it? For example, with "-d --d --dependency-map" option.
I need it because I am repacking an amdgpu-pro ubuntu packages for archlinux with a script https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu/blob/master/gen-PKGBUILD.py#L286

As a workaround I have written translate_deb_to_arch_dependency.sh:

#!/bin/bash

rm -rf tmp-mapdeps-pkg
mkdir -p tmp-mapdeps-pkg/DEBIAN
cat << EOF  > tmp-mapdeps-pkg/DEBIAN/control
Package: tmp-mapdeps-pkg
Version: 1.0-1
Section: base
Priority: optional
Architecture: amd64
Depends: $1
Maintainer: Your Name <[email protected]>
Description: Temporary package to workaround https://github.com/helixarch/debtap/issues/41
EOF

dpkg-deb --build tmp-mapdeps-pkg > /dev/null

debtap -P -Q tmp-mapdeps-pkg.deb 2>/dev/null > tmpfile
if grep "Warning: These dependencies" tmpfile > /dev/null; then
    echo could_not_translate
    rm tmp-mapdeps-pkg.deb tmpfile
    rm -rf tmp-mapdeps-pkg
    exit 1
fi

cat tmp-mapdeps-pkg/PKGBUILD | grep depends | sed 's/depends=('\''//' | sed 's/'\'' '\''/\n/g' | sed 's/'\'')//g'
rm tmp-mapdeps-pkg.deb tmpfile
rm -rf tmp-mapdeps-pkg

Can be checked with these commands:

bash translate_deb_to_arch_dependency.sh xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 # result - could_not_translate
bash translate_deb_to_arch_dependency.sh zlib1g # result - zlib
bash translate_deb_to_arch_dependency.sh libgcc1 # result - empty output (no package)

translate_deb_to_arch_dependency.txt
Attached as a file for convenience. Just change extension txt to sh.

@Ashark The script expects to find dpkg-deb on an Arch system?

[Ashark]

@Strykar yes

[Strykar]

@Ashark Uhm, how since it's not bundled with Arch or in the aur (understandbly)? You just copy the binary over from a Debian install?

[root@i-5 ~]# ./translate_deb_to_arch_dependency.sh gir1.2-gtk-3.0
could_not_translate

[Ashark]

@Strykar Just install dpkg. See this.
