I am trying to install Oracle SQL Developer
onto a Debian Linux server.
I started off by downloading a package from the Oracle website;
sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-1.noarch.rpm
I then called the following command to make this into a .deb
package.
alien sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-1.noarch.rpm
This command ran successfully and created the new file:
sqldeveloper_4.0.3.16.84-2_all.deb
To install this package I then called the following:
dpkg -i sqldeveloper_4.0.0.12.27-2_all.deb
Which outputted the following:
dpkg: warning: downgrading sqldeveloper from 4.0.3.16.84+0.2.3-1 to 4.0.3.16.84-2.
(Reading database ... 33017 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace sqldeveloper 4.0.3.16.84+0.2.3-1 (using sqldeveloper_4.0.3.16.84-2_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement sqldeveloper ...
dpkg-deb (subprocess): short read on buffer copy for failed to write to pipe in copy
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing sqldeveloper_4.0.3.16.84-2_all.deb (--install):
short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/extensions/oracle.datamodeler/lib/pdfbox-app-1.8.0.jar'
Errors were encountered while processing:
sqldeveloper_4.0.3.16.84-2_all.deb
I have looked through Google to try and find solutions to this problem and have come across similar issues for errors with --configure
and --uninstallbut nothing for
--install`.

that you're not out of disk space and viadf -i
that you're not out of inodes.dpkg: warning: downgrading sqldeveloper from 4.0.3.16.84+0.2.3-1 to 4.0.3.16.84-2.
tells me you already had SQL Developer installed, using a package created with sqldeveloper-package; what was wrong with that version?
