Odoo Install packages not being found by TKLDEV

[l-arnold]

I've been trying to do a few Odoo TKLDEV builds. Basically odoo-16 is not a Debian or bullseye-backport package anymore.

odoo-14 is one and it is findable from the command line of tkldev.

I am using the

turnkeylinux-apps/odoo

source and have done some branch tests in my own repository however, tkldev -> make will not find even odoo-14 if it is called from Makefile and plan/main

Have tried it everywhich way. It seems that apt-get update needs to be run within the tkldev/make process but not sure.

Really wanting to make a stepped set of builds odoo14, Odoo15, Odoo 16 etc so that proper upgrades with OpenUPGRADE can be done. The only debian packages I can find just now are odoo-14 and odoo-18.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

It looks like I am building odoo-14 now with TKLdev 18.1 I changed the call for odoo-16 to odoo-14 in my branch

then I added with fab-chroot
sources.list.d/backports.list

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main contrib non-free

preferences.d/backports.pref

Package: odoo-14 Pin: release a=bullseye-backports Pin-Priority: 900

I had the same files in my Build Set for Odoo-14 (using my Odoo-16 Branch) but it would not find the Odoo package nor proceed with all the python stuff.

(was putting everything together and I get an error during Odoo-Startup: Guessing I have a running system here that may have Hung before building an ISO, but not sure.

To activate the new configuration, you need to run: systemctl reload apache2

• a2ensite odoo.conf Enabling site odoo. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: systemctl reload apache2

Various issues going on here. It seems Odoo needs: One answer says:

"Use PyPDF2 1.28.6 or older. Odoo is not compatible with PyPDF2 2.x"

Though below that:

"I installed odoo a week ago and have faced the same problem. After checking a number of forums with a number of suggestions, installing and uninstalling Python programs, and a lot of other things, I checked the installation path. I found out that there is a "_utils.py" file, but no "utils.py", so I made a copy of the first one and named it as the second one. Voilá.

To find the path, you can run dpkg -L python3-pypdf2 | grep -i _utils.py I found 2 paths, and made symlinks pointing to the _utils.py file sudo ln -sf _utils.py utils.py and it solved the issue – StR CommentedJan 5, 2024 at 16:10

So, Perhaps some "sed" rename in the Build would work for this. I will look.
