I used Key Mapper in the past and since it stopped working recently, I wanted to install the latest version of input-remapper. Unfortunately, it is not possible to install it under Debian 12.
What I tried:
Downloaded the package input-remapper-2.0.1.deb from the GitHub repo and tried to install it with dpkg -i input-remapper-2.0.1.deb
Followed the installation instructions for Debian with cloning and building the .deb from scratch and install it as in 1)
Observation:
In both cases dpkg installs many libraries to fulfill dependencies (see below)
When eventually installing input-remapper and enabling the service it fails:
input-remapper (2.0.1) wird eingerichtet ...
Failed to enable unit: File input-remapper.service: Link has been severed
Failed to start input-remapper.service: Unit input-remapper.service not found.
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes input-remapper (--configure):

Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
input-remapper
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Could you please give me a hint how to get input remapper running under Debian again?
I realized, that input-remapper is now in the standard Debian repository and simply installing it via sudo apt install input-remapper input-remapper-gtk works fine.
Still surprising that the GitHub version does not work.
Had a similar issue earlier when juggling versions of input-remapper. In my case the problem was a lingering version of /lib/systemd/system/input-remapper.service that had not been properly removed. Moving the file fixed the issue. Performing an apt purge input-remapper might also do the trick.
