On Debian 11 with latest updates, I cannot install the official package 15.0.2 ; However version 15.0.1 installation works fine.  
The output on the console is:

root@dolibarr:~# dpkg -i dolibarr\_15.0.2-4\_all.deb  
dpkg-deb: error: archive ‘dolibarr\_15.0.2-4\_all.deb’ uses unknown compression for member ‘control.tar.zst’, giving up  
dpkg: error processing archive dolibarr\_15.0.2-4\_all.deb (–install):  
dpkg-deb --control subprocess returned error exit status 2  
Errors were encountered while processing:  
dolibarr\_15.0.2-4\_all.deb

Note: On my Debian 11 instance, the package zstd is installed.

As a quick workaround, I unpack the .deb file and repack it using xz instead of zstd.  
My shell script is:

#!/bin/sh  
ar x dolibarr\_15.0.2-4\_all.deb  
unzstd control.tar.zst  
unzstd data.tar.zst  
xz control.tar  
xz data.tar  
rm dolibarr\_15.0.2-4\_all.deb  
ar cr dolibarr\_15.0.2-4\_all.deb debian-binary control.tar.xz data.tar.xz

Same problem for me ☹

Thanks for the workaround, I will test it :wink:

EDIT : it worked :wink: Just add to install binutils via `apt install binutils` to get ar tool before using your script

You also need to have zstd installed, apt install zstd

Latest update dolibarr\_15.0.3-4\_all.deb does not fix the problem.  
We still need to apply the script/fix.  
Enclosed an update of the initial script.

#!/bin/bash

TARGET=dolibarr\_15.0.3-4\_all.deb

if [! -f $TARGET];  
then  
echo “File $TARGET does not exist. Abort”  
exit  
fi

ret=$(apt list binutils zstd | wc -l)  
if [$ret -ne 3];  
then  
echo Package binutils and zstd are needed. Install them first with 'apt install binutils zstd'  
exit  
fi

cp -a $TARGET $[TARGET.org](http://TARGET.org)  
ar x $TARGET  
unzstd control.tar.zst  
unzstd data.tar.zst  
xz control.tar  
xz data.tar  
rm $TARGET  
ar cr $TARGET debian-binary control.tar.xz data.tar.xz
