Installing 4kVideoDownloader on Fedora isn't all that difficult:
1) Use the "alien" tool to convert the deb package to an rpm package:
sudo alien --to-rpm --scripts 4kvideodownloader_4.13.5-1_amd64.deb
I had to install alien. This seemed to work.
2) Fix the rpm package so that it doesn't try to "own" the "/usr"
and "/usr/bin" directories.
rpmrebuild --edit-spec 4kvideodownloader-4.13-6.x86_64.rpm
When the VI editor session opens, scroll down to the "%files"
section of the file and delete the first eight lines:
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/lib"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/lib/.build-id"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/lib/.build-id/a4"
%attr(0777, root, root)
"/usr/lib/.build-id/a4/0b64ce7d0c022c77cd85ad6f405b529dc8004c"
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/lib/.build-id/f7"
%attr(0777, root, root)
"/usr/lib/.build-id/f7/997df8fab1b5db8950848b227407154e389688"
Save the file and let the rebuild complete.
I had to install rpmrebuild.
rpmrebuild gave me a mere (almost) 1300 error messages.
I pasted them into a text file and put it on the google drive here:
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1frF621bRMbZSIvIVnKffCF5DW_YujOnM/view?usp=sharing";
What now?
Might be that I forgot to give you instructions to create the RPM
build directory tree that the rpm tools use. Do you have this tree
structure in your home directory?
~/rpmbuild
├── BUILD
├── RPMS
├── SOURCES
├── SPECS
└── SRPMS
If not, this command will create it:
mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
Once that structure exists, try running the rpmrebuild again.
Another, better, way to set up the rpm build tree is to install the
rpmdevtools package and run the "rpmdev-setuptree" script that it
provides. That adds a hidden ~/.rpmmacros config file that is used by
the rpm builder tools.
