Dependencies not installed from repository when installing local wapt file

[moritz1234]

Hi there,

I got a clean machine that is not connected to the wapt server, but has the repository set up (it's pretty much a self managed device; only `repo_url` is specified).

Now I want to install a package (lets take keepass xc as an example). I downloaded the wapt file (self build in the console) and I am trying to install it like this:

Code: Select all

C:\volume>wapt-get install *.wapt
Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Installing WAPT files C:\volume\keepassxc_2.7.10-5_x64_windows_PROD.wapt
FATAL ERROR : Missing dependencies: vcredist2015-2022

It does not find the dependencies. `vcredist2015-2022` is available in the central repository and can easily be installed:

Code: Select all

C:\>wapt-get install vcredist2015-2022
Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
install using WAPT packages vcredist2015-2022

  vcredist2015-2022 [x64_en_PROD] | vcredist2015-2022 (14.44.35211.0-27)

I can also directly install keepassxc with `wapt-get install keepassxc`, but then it is using the version from the repository.


Is there any way to install a local .wapt file and fetch all needed dependencies? Otherwise I need to hack it around and use `wapt-get show *.wapt` and the grep for `depends`.

I am running on windows with the latest version of wapt (`2.6.0.17392`).

Any help appreciated! Thank you.

(And: pardon for my French slur!)

And just to mention, but I am somehow unable to capture the output of wapt-get show on local files:

eg `wapt-get show keepassxc > test.txt` works without a problem, but when `wapt-get show keepassxc.wapt > test.txt` the file just contains the following:

Code: Select all

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Display package control data for keepassxc_2.7.10-5_x64_windows_PROD.wapt

Hello,
What repo_url is set? Is it your own repo or our public store?
You can specify a package version if available on that repo:

Code: Select all

wapt-get install keepassxc(=2.7.10-1)

I specified my own repo (like https://repo.internal).

I do not want to install a specific version, I want to install the local .wapt file and pull needed dependencies (`depends` in WAPT/control) from the repository.
