Install

[dhamilton]

Hi,

got 5 deb packages from getdeb.net, but when I try to install them with GDebi package installer I recive an error:

"The package file does not exist
A nonexistent file has been selected for installation. Please select an existing .deb package file."

I also downloaded "ufoai-2.2-linux.run" file from sourceforge.net, but running it as root gives me "Command not found" error.

Please advise,
thx very much

make sure that you've installed the data package before you try to install the binary package

I can't do that, data package is the one with an error

ufoai-data_2.2-0~getdeb1_all           - error
ufoai-data-music_2.2-0~getdeb1_all- error
ufoai-server_2.2-0~getdeb1_i386     - error
ufoai-tools_2.2-0~getdeb1_i386       - error
ufoai_2.2-0~getdeb1_i386               - the "install package" option is not enabled since data package is not installed

With this .run file remember you need to be in the same directory as the file, i.e. do: "cd <directory name>", till "ls" shows you do file.

You may also need to make it exectutable: "chmod u+x ufoai-2.2-linux.run".

Another thing is the case sensitivity of *nixes, it does matter wheter you use capital letters or not.

Last but not least, you run things in the current directory by preceding the name with "./" on most distributions, so: "./ufoai-2.2-linux.run".

I can't do that, data package is the one with an error

and what is the error?

What package manager are you using to install these?

I have had a similar problem before; there were 21 packages to a game, but none would install because the others were "missing". What I did was to install ALL of them in the same session, and they automatically supported each other.
