Catalyst 13.1 Installation on Ubuntu 12.04 : debclean not found

Question

I am trying to install the AMD Catalyst version 13.1 driver on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (desktop version).

I have downloaded the *.run file corresponding to the driver version.

amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run

I am following the instructions to install Catalyst here:

https://askubuntu.com/a/126513

All the dependencies were downloaded as well.

When I run:

It fails to build the package with the error:

Generating package: Ubuntu/precise
Package build failed!
Package build utility output:
./packages/Ubuntu/ati-packager.sh: 294: ./packages/Ubuntu/ati-packager.sh: debclean: not found
....
....
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I downloaded devscripts as well to fix the error related to debclean.

sudo apt-get install devscripts

devscripts is already the newest version.

As you can see, I have the latest version of debclean installed. Even after this, it fails to build the package when I run with the same error specific to "debclean not found". How can I fix this error?

sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise

Thanks.

Solution

Just try this link. It may help. At least it will guide you how to cover the problem.

Regards.

P.S.: I have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4xxx series and it worked for my cause.

Try running debclean in a terminal, and possibly: sudo apt-get install debclean (not sure if that package exists, but it follows package name convention)

There is no package with the name, debclean. From what I have read on various internet resources, in order to install debclean, we need to install devscripts using apt-get. However, I am not sure why even after install devscripts, the error for debclean persists.

Looks like it's in the devscripts package, indeed.

Before running the ati installer, do: sudo apt-get install debhelper dh-modaliases execstack

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.
