Debian didn't come with gdebi (atleast I don't think so) and installing software from deb packages is a bit of a hassle I get tired of going through command line (plus iI read that gdebi automatically downloads the dependencies if needed) I am using the debian install dvd which has more packages on it but I don't think gdebi is included.
For the past week, I haven't been able to install anything using GDebi. Every time I do, it says that only one software managment tool may be open at once. It always says this, despite it being the only one open. What's wrong?

I'm having some issues building deb packages. dh_make --createorig behaves as expected, but when I attempt to buld the package with dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot the build dies on a dpkg-source error.
I installed Linux Mint 8 (which I believe is a flavor of Ubuntu 9.10) and I have everything good except for the GDebi and APT installations
Previously I was able to open a .DEB file when Firefox prompted me to choose what to do, now it doesn't.
Same thing with the APT option. With Getdeb apps I use to be able to click the INSTALL NOW and it would prompt me to install using APT. Like the GDebi, it doesn't do this anymore.
How can I get it so Firefox can open .DEB files in it along with the APT command
After I got the OS up and running (v9.10), I was prompted to download and install some updates. The download is complete, but when I try to install the updates, I receive the following message. What should I do?

I installed the software Ubuntu Tweak yesterday and I was satisfied of how it worked. today, surfing the internet I was hoping to find a solution to a couple of problems that I have: the computer sometimes get stuck when opening videos or photos - I can't see streaming TV. when the internet browser was asking me to install plug-in in order to show the videos I tried to install them but errors occurred.
so I followed the instruction in [URL] (many of these things didn't work and the terminal was showing error messages...) now after rebooting I have got the unity 2D I think (which is fine as I can't notice great differences) but I can't install the updates from Ubuntu Tweak the error message is: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. how can I fix it and get my video codecds?
I'm trying to update Kubuntu 11.04 here is my error: p, li {white-space: pre-wrap;} E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. here is what i have tried to fix it:
I am running Debian Squeeze with XFCE. I have installed gdebi, but when I try to run it as gdebi-gtk it gets to the point of password entry, lets me do this then closes before installing the package. It worked fine for the first few, and it works as gdebi from the command line, so I can only guess that it is linked to something with gtk graphical front end. I tried removing using apt-get remove and reinstalling as well as purging the cache and checking for broken dependencies.
This is the output when I run gdebi-gtk from terminal (gdebi-gtk:3582): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: cannot connect to the session bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Is there any way to make this: sudo dpkg -i *.deb Also install dependencies for a deb file in the same way as GDebi does? Basically I have the above in a script, which I can right click in any folder and have it automatically install all debs in it. So much easier and quicker than using GDebi for each one. However, as of now, it doesn't seem to be installing dependencies, and causes broken packages.
I want to install gcc on my Pyramid linux which is debian based. I downloaded gcc.deb. When I want to install this file, it gives me "dpkg command not found" error! I also get this error when I want to install other .deb files using dpkg command " dpkg -i finename.deb. I did some research and it seams that I should install package on my system, but package file is .deb file and I can't install .deb file! What should I do to solve the problem??? Should I install any thing on my system to install .deb files??

Im trying to install maemo 5 on fedora 12 x64 edition. However to do this the scripts require dpkg installed. Does anyone have an idea as to which package or repository I need to add so that I can install this. I have had this working under fedora 11 but cannot remember what i did to get dpkg working, i think there was a package already made.
My 10.04 install freezes at about 95%, during running dpkg. I have tried again, always freezes at same point.Live CD version runs fine.Is there a 'command line' install that might help me determine which pkg is causing the problem.I had 9.10 running on the system for the last six months with no problems.
I was installing something, usplash, I think it was... I ran $ sudo aptitude install usplash and after it asked me if I wanted to install some aditional packages, it returned this: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
I have seen this error before. I just ran the command $ sudo dpkg --configure -a And it returned this: Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu29) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.10-some-string-here Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-some-string-here update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.10-some-string-here dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
I did an: $ aptitude search initramfs-tools and I noticed that it had a "C" next to it. I think this has something to do with the package not being configured correctly or at all. Also looks like it is trying to generate an initd, but missing something. That kernel name looks kinda funky, though...
I have some question about package manual installation - time by time I am facing up with some circle dependances issue: 2 packages could be dependent by each other (f.e. pearl or odbc), so error comes when you try to install it with dpkg -i option, so I would like to know how to install this packages together?
I'm trying to install zabbix-proxy with dpkg -i and not to use dbconfig-common, is a remote installation, I tried using expect to ansewer no to the first dbconfig dialog, the one that asks if you want to configure everything with dbconfig or not.
I want to rescue my system. After a faulty installation of linux-firmware_1.38_all.deb (subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)) the system does not boot, even in recovery mode. Using a live cd, I downloaded the linux-firmware version I had previously, and try to install it with dpkg but I can't direct it to the directories I need:
I'm attempting to install Debian (Stable) from a business net install disc. The problem? I can't load/install the packages I need to connect to my USB 3G modem. When I load up a shell (tty2?), I'm brought to an 'ash' prompt, and there's no DPKG for me to load the necessary packages.
how I can do a total net install, including the base, from an USB 3G modem? Actually, I'm very surprised that current Linux distros don't seem to include support, for this growing market share type of internet connection.
I was triyng to install Debian on a AMD K6-2. I use debootstrap, and installed Lenny, with a kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-486.
After that apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and I get:
The following packages will be upgraded:
Since release 150, udev requires that support for the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED feature is disabled in the running kernel.
Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.
AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can force the installation of this version of udev WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH YOUR RUNNING KERNEL AND WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM AT THE NEXT REBOOT by creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file. There is always a safer way to upgrade, do not try this unless you 0understand what you are doing!
And similar messages appears trying to install xfce4...
I've been having issues with the omega.cert on Pidgin and tried to upgrade to 2.7.7 today. I clicked on the link from the Pidgin site to download the ppa package "pidgin-ppa_0.0.3_all.deb" and tried to open with GDebi Package Installer but it tells me it couldn't be opened because an unknown error occurred.
