Description Borsik Istvan 2012-03-09 10:16:20 UTC

Error occurs, when trying to install deb files from localized system folders.
Example: Downloads folder / localized hungarian name: Letöltések
This error occurs both with QApt and Gdebi-KDE. When using QApt, no error message, the install window only displays this: "Done", but the app isn't installed. See the attached picture. When using Gdebi-KDE, error occurs: cannot open package, package appears to be broken.
When moving the deb file to /home, installing the package went fine.

System: Kubuntu 11.10 x64 KDE 4.8.1

Muon Suite version 1.3.0

Comment 2 ohad cohen 2012-09-07 15:44:15 UTC

have the same problem, with downloads folder named in hebrew (הורדות)
muon/qapt 1.4 on kubuntu 12.10 amd64

Comment 3 Hyoga 2012-09-19 13:41:32 UTC

I confirm this with french language (Downloads = Téléchargements) and Kubuntu 12.04.1

Comment 4 Jonathan Riddell 2015-01-14 18:03:40 UTC

Yes I confirm..

mkdir Letöltések
put a .deb into that directory
run   qapt-deb-installer Letöltések/analitza-common_14.12.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb
click Install
it will say "done" but the package will not install

Comment 5 Jonathan Riddell 2015-01-14 18:04:21 UTC

I used version 2.2.0-0ubuntu2

Comment 6 Carlo Vanini 2016-05-17 16:39:44 UTC

Works for me with version 3.0.2, and should work in 2.2 too.
The fix is commit 1dd424c10dadf546b3c8d4479ed6c03ee1e78969

Muon is no longer maintained, please switch no a supported alternative like https://apps.kde.org/discover/ or the package manager native no your system.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
