i'm installing Adobe Air
on Ubuntu 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

'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 of dpkg
but I don't know how to configure dpkg
to ignore versioning. How to solve this? Thanks in advance.

I have successfully installed my
air
app with noversion number does not start with digit
error. What I did was to downgrade mydpkg-1.16.0
todpkg-1.15.8
using the following command:I have downloaded the older package here.
Since the
version-policy
is enforced on the current version ofdpkg
, thedpkg-1.16.0
, installing anair
app that violates this versioning policy ofDebian
will really cause an error.
