i’m installing
Adobe Air
onUbuntu v11.04
. The installation process is successful but when I tried to install an air application, errors occurred.Here’s the usual error I’ve got from the
.appdata/Adobe/AIR/Logs/Install.log
:[airinstall:20544][ERR] Error occurred during rpm install operation; beginning rollback:ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text=" error: dpkg: error processing /tmp/FlashTmp.FbSCaL/setup.deb (--install):; parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 2 package 'myapp.74249ff9cb321f1d45f6ea93a89630d1be111ef2.1':; error in Version string 'V1.48.40': version number does not start with digit; Errors were encountered while processing:; /tmp/FlashTmp.FbSCaL/setup.deb" errorID=1]
I’ve followed every instructions on how to install adobe air on ubuntu with user
root
. As per research, this has something to do with the version policy ofdpkg
but I don’t know how to configuredpkg
to ignore versioning. How to solve this? Thanks in advance.
Answer
I have successfully installed my air
app with no version number does not start with digit
error. What I did was to downgrade my dpkg-1.16.0
to dpkg-1.15.8
using the following command:
dpkg --force-downgrade -i /pathofnewdpkg/dpkg_1.15.8.4ubuntu3_i386.deb
I have downloaded the older package here.
Since the version-policy
is enforced on the current version of dpkg
, the dpkg-1.16.0
, installing an air
app that violates this versioning policy of Debian
will really cause an error.
