Package corrupted ?
  • Hello,
    I tried to install Airtime on my VPS (Debian 7.0 - 1Gb RAM) when I get the following message :

    > sudo gdebi airtime-easy-setup.deb

    What's wrong ? I tried to install Airtime by following your guide.

  • Hi,
    As said in the error msg, check permissions of the .deb file and change it to 777 if needed.

  • I have found what's wrong, I have Webmin. I will try anyway to check the perms if Webmin is not the problem...

    Thanks anyway,

    Dominique.
  • Ok, i have uninstalled Webmin, and the problem subsists. The problem is that I don't know where gdebi stores its files...
  • I would reinstall debian via the netiso CD
  • Found what's wrong, the package file itself was corrupted from the download.
