Build verified locally on Ubuntu 24.04 (debhelper 13.14.1): Package contents confirmed:
NOTE: look for "woeusb-ng_0.2.12-1_all.deb" in the directory above the git repo when complete. |
Notes the correct apt install ./package.deb invocation and explains why dpkg -i alone leaves the package unconfigured without deps. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
