Description Bradley D. Wall 2011-05-10 09:45:55 UTC

This seems to only occur on Ubuntu 11.04 when using the package manager.  

An error message pops up during the installation saying the package is of bad quality.

This is an issue the new package installer in Ubuntu:

Workaround:
http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-install-deb-files-when-getting.html

1. Install .deb files using dpkg.

Assuming you've downloaded the .deb in your ~/Downloads folder, run the following commands in a terminal to install all the .deb files:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo apt-get install -f


2. Install .deb files using Gdebi 

sudo apt-get install gdebi gdebi-core

You can then right click a .deb file and select "Open with Gdebi Package Installer".

I can confirm that the workarounds avoid the error message.

Ugh, I'm not sure it's going to be possible to fix this. Our package has to contain a lot of different architectures.

Comment 6 Michael Herger 2011-09-02 05:24:48 UTC

This is fixed in LMS 7.7
