gcmcore-linux package missing dependency

[cloudqq]

Which version of GCM Core are you using?

Download linux deb from this link below.

https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-Core/releases/download/v2.0.567/gcmcore-linux_amd64.2.0.567.18224.deb

When run the git push, error occured. missing package should be packed in the deb.

And I also download the gz package, and found two so lib.

After copy these two so files to /usr/local/share/gcm-core, then it works.

Pls help to fix this package issue.

Which Git host provider are you trying to connect to?

• Azure DevOps

Can you access the remote repository directly in the browser using the remote URL?

From a terminal, run git remote -v to see your remote URL.

• Yes
• No, I get a permission error
• No, for a different reason - please describe

---

[Azure DevOps only] What format is your remote URL?

• Not applicable
• https://dev.azure.com/`{org}`/...
• https://{org}@dev.azure.com/{org}/...
• https://{org}.visualstudio.com/...

[Azure DevOps only] If the account picker shows more than one identity as you authenticate, check that you selected the same one that has access on the web.

• Not applicable
• I only see one identity
• I checked each identity and none worked

Expected behavior

I am authenticated and my Git operation completes successfully.

Actual behavior

A clear and concise description of what happens. For example: exception is thrown, UI freezes, etc.

Logs

Set the environment variables GCM_TRACE=1 and GIT_TRACE=1 and re-run your Git command. Review and redact any private information and attach the log.

I am having the exact same issue. How can I fix it?

[MariaGuilarte]

What should i do? I just re-downloaded the .deb and reinstalled but didn't change anything. I'm a newbie linux mint user

[mjcheetham]

@almog-co, @MariaGuilarte the changes to fix this problem have been merged to the default branch but not yet released.
The problem of missing files will be fixed in the next release.

I've just run into this.

It might be an idea to at least edit the release notes with a warning saying the deb package is broken.

It appears that we have to install the pre-release version to avoid this bug?

---

Edit:
The below seemed to do the job removing the old version

sudo dpkg -P gcmcore

Checked with:

dpkg -l gcmcore

---

Edit 2:
Unfortunately the latest pre-release doesn't seem to work for me 😢

❯ sudo dpkg -i gcmcore-linux_amd64.2.0.605.12951.deb

Edit 3:
Looks like the pre-release breaks the symlinks by installing into a Release folder:

❯ ls -la /usr/local/share/gcm-core

drwxr-xr-x 3 1001 admin 4096 Nov 25 01:14 .

[dhirschfeld]

Looks like there's a workaround in #528 (comment). I'll give that a go...
