Expand Up @@ -71,6 +71,27 @@ To compress the debian package, override `debianNativeBuildOptions` with

debianNativeBuildOptions in Debian := Seq("-Zgzip", "-z3") // gzip compression at level 3

Note that commit cee091c released in 1.1.1 disables package re-compression by
default. While this works great with tools such as apt and dpkg, un-compressed
package installation is `bugged in python-apt 8.8 series
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718330>`_. This bug prevents
installation of the generated debian package in the following configuration:

- installation using python-apt module, used by Ansible and SaltStack for
example,
- being on python-apt 8.8 series, that's on Debian Wheezy and perhaps older

It will fail with an error message like::

E: This is not a valid DEB archive, it has no 'data.tar.gz', 'data.tar.bz2' or 'data.tar.lzma' member

Solutions include:

- upgrading to Debian Jessie,
- upgrading python-apt, note that no official backport is known
- re-enabling package re-compression in sbt-native-packager, by overridding
`debianNativeBuildOptions` as described above.
