The upstream vanilla build symlinks /usr/share/dupeguru/core/pe and /usr/share/dupeguru/qt/pe to /usr/lib/dupeguru/core/pe and /usr/lib/dupeguru/qt/pe respectively. In the debian package these symlinks are missing, and emptu directories are created instead (although the lib files are built and packaged). This causes an immediate exception on run.

After several checks and tests, I got the following conclusions: - The symlinks are present in the packages provided via Debian repositories. - The package, when installed via APT on Sid and Bookworm, is working correctly. - Building the package in a fresh jail generates the symlinks.

Considering that an RC bug over this package affects forensics-extra, I am decreasing the severity from grave to important. Ionut, are you installing this package via APT? Best regards, Eriberto
I guess this is on a non-usr-merged system which is not supported anymore.
It _was_ installed via apt. Your conclusions are correct: $ apt-get download dupeguru Get:1 http://ftp.ro.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 dupeguru amd64 4.3.1-3+b1 [439 kB] Fetched 439 kB in 2s (235 kB/s) $ mkdir dg $ dpkg-deb -R dupeguru_4.3.1-3+b1_amd64.deb dg $ ls -gGd dg/usr/share/dupeguru/*/pe lrwxrwxrwx 1 29 ian 4 15:05 dg/usr/share/dupeguru/core/pe -> ../../../lib/dupeguru/core/pe lrwxrwxrwx 1 27 ian 4 15:05 dg/usr/share/dupeguru/qt/pe -> ../../../lib/dupeguru/qt/pe I uninstalled and re-installed, and of course, it works. I'm sorry for the noise and apologise for wasting your time. I have no idea what happened, maybe I had it previously installed manually or via pip, and there was some strange interaction with the package. Anyway, user error. I can't reproduce it either, so closing.
