Below is the working control file while creating debian package using the link. I kept a single dependency and it is creating the deb file.
Package: my-program
Version: 1.0
Architecture: all
Essential: no
Priority: optional
Depends: default-jdk
Maintainer: Your Name
Description: A short desc
The folder structure created; under testing I kept few files.
├── my-program_version_architecture
│ └── DEBIAN
│ ├── control
│ └── usr
│ └── local
│ └── share
│ └── testing
│ ├── remaining files
I ran below command:
dpkg-deb --build my-program_version_architecture/
The deb file got created but when I ran below command to install the deb file, I am getting error.
sudo apt install ./my-program_version_architecture.deb
The error I got:
