OS:                Linux

Muon 1.2.80

Muon still fails to install some deb packages. For example, H20 icon theme deb from kde-look: http://www.mediafire.com/?j75fn7bk32w7p1m

Dpkg from konsole or gdebi-kde install this deb without problem.

Then try to install it.

Muon fails to install it.

Expected Results:  
Muon installing deb package.

Muon also fails to install kernel debs from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Comment 1 Rog131 2012-01-19 19:05:05 UTC

Kubuntu 12.04 alpha-1
KDE Development Platform: 4.7.97 (4.8 RC2 (4.7.97)
Muon Package Manager: 1.2.80 "Daring Dalek"
QApt Package Installer: 1.3

The H2O icon theme can be installed if the debian package is renamed: 
The original name is "H2O 4.6.2.deb". If the package is renamed to H2O_4.6.2.deb then the installation is successful.

Downloading a kernel package from the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/, linux-image-3.2.1-030201-generic_3.2.1-030201.201201121644_i386.deb. When trying to install it, the QApt installer option "Install Package" is grayed out. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/714/grayedout.png/.
