Raw

no_ibus_zoom.md

INFO REFERENCE

Zoom .deb package provided by zoom themselves has very annoying and unnecessary ibus package dependency. Here how u can easily remove it by several lines in your command line:

Download zoom

scratch=$(mktemp -d)

# Extract package contents
dpkg -x zoom_amd64.deb $scratch

# Extract package control information
dpkg -e zoom_amd64.deb $scratch/DEBIAN

# Remove the ibus dependency
sed -i -E 's/(ibus, |, ibus)//' $scratch/DEBIAN/control

# Rebuild the .deb
dpkg -b $scratch patched_zoom_amd64.deb

# Install
sudo dpkg -i patched_zoom_amd64.deb
