Install results in incomplete file type for DEB install

Post by Darc Sceptor »

When I download the DEB package I don't really get a packager per se. I get a deb file and a deb.part file. The deb file is a blank icon and when I double click it the deb installer does not start. Instead I get an error that it isn't a complete deb package file.

I downloaded it and attempted to install it like every single one I've downloaded. I download the deb file and double click it. The software interface opens up giving me the Install option. But now with your .deb package.

Ooops -- the software is Linux Mint which is Ubuntu


UPDATE: This is freaking weird. I put the files into trash and when I went to move them back to get the specific error message it was recognized as a deb file and now is installing. Weird, and definitely not in a Snow White way.

Thank you for sharing this issue. While such occurrences are rare, they can sometimes happen due to browser or downloader-related complications. We're glad to hear you were ultimately able to install the software successfully.

A ".part" file always indicates a download in progress. You need to wait for the browser to finish the download.
