deb包格式实例详解

本文简介及包格式部分内容节选自：

deb_百度百科

一、简介

DEB是Debian软件包格式的文件扩展名，跟Debian的命名一样，DEB也是因Debra Murdock而得名，她是Debian创始人Ian Murdock的太太。

Debian包是Unixar的标准归档，在Linux操作系统中类似于windows中的软件包（msi)，几乎不需要什么复杂的编译即可通过鼠标点击安装使用。

二、包格式

deb包本身由三部分组成：数据包，包含实际安装的程序数据，文件名为data.tar.XXX；安装信息及控制脚本包，包含deb的安装说明、标识、脚本等，文件名为control.tar.gz；deb文件的一些二进制数据，包括文件头等信息，一般看不到，在某些软件中打开可以看到。

三、deb包解压实例

在此我们以flameshot的deb包为例，下载并进行解压，看一下包的实际内容，对照上边包格式以加深理解。

flameshot是一款堪称完美的截图工具软件。其下载地址为：

Releases · flameshot-org/flameshot · GitHub

这里我们选择其中的flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb 进行下载，并将其放置到某一路径下。

注：电脑环境为Linux环境，具体为Ubuntu22.04。

1. 图形界面下查看

在图形界面下双击下载的flameshot deb包进行查看，如下图所示：

• control.tar.xz

control.tar.xz就是包格式中提到的安装信息及控制脚本包，包含deb的安装说明、标识、脚本等。继续对于其下内容进行查看。如下图所示：

• data.tar.xz

data.tar.xz就是包格式中提到的数据包，包含实际安装的程序数据。继续对于其下内容进行查看。如下图所示：

 

 

• debian-binary

debian-binary就是包格式中提到的deb文件的一些二进制数据，包括文件头等信息。

2. 命令行解压

命令行下有两种方式对deb文件进行解压：dpkg和ar。

（1）方式1 —— dpkg命令

• 解压出包中的文件

dpkg -x xxx.deb 解压路径

• 解压出包的控制信息

dpkg -e xxx.deb 解压路径 

结合flameshot包我们实际来看一下。进入到flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb的放置路径：

ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test$ cd flameshot/
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls 
flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb

在此路径下建立tmp文件夹，tmp文件夹下建立DEBIAN文件夹：

ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ mkdir tmp
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ mkdir tmp/DEBIAN
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls 
flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb  tmp
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls tmp/
DEBIAN

将flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb包中的文件解压到tmp/ ，控制信息解压到tmp/DEBIAN/：

ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ dpkg -x flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb tmp/
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls
flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb  tmp
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls tmp
DEBIAN  usr
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls tmp/DEBIAN/
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ dpkg -e flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb tmp/DEBIAN/
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls tmp/DEBIAN/
control  md5sums

ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls tmp/DEBIAN/
control  md5sums

ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ du tmp/usr/
1780	tmp/usr/bin
32	tmp/usr/share/doc/flameshot
36	tmp/usr/share/doc

1824	tmp/usr/share
3608	tmp/usr/

可以看到，与在图形界面下的结果一致，只是控制和数据分别放在了指定路径下，并且没有debian-binary文件。

（2）方式2 —— ar命令

• 示例

ar -vx xx.deb

以上命令会解压出3个文件：debian-binary，control.tar.xz，data.tar.xz，其中 debian-binary 是一个文本文件，指示.deb软件包格式的版本；control.tar.xz是包含软件包控制信息的压缩包，data.tar .xz包含了所有要从软件包中提取的文件。

ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ar -vx flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb 
x - debian-binary
x - control.tar.xz
x - data.tar.xz
ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ ls
control.tar.xz  data.tar.xz  debian-binary  flameshot-12.1.0-1.debian-10.amd64.deb  tmp

ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ cat debian-binary 
2.0

如果要提取包中的文件，把data.tar.xz解压：tar -xvf data.tar.xz。
如果要查看包的控制信息，把control.tar.xz 解压：tar -xvf control.tar.xz。

ph@ph-ThinkBook-14-G2-ITL:~/dingdao/test/flameshot$ tar xvf data.tar.xz
