Avast 1.0.8-2 install error on Ubuntu 8.04
« on: June 25, 2008, 07:05:59 AM »
Trying to install "avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb" for Ubuntu 8.04

Am able to run the package installer, but receive following error in Terminal

"dpkg: error processing avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb"

Am I using the right command? Am new to Linux, where did the package installer park the avast files on my drive?

Any help would be much appreciated. -J

Problem solved.


"cd /usr/lib/avast4workstation/share/avast/desktop && sudo ./install-desktop-entries.sh install"


Ran the above command line and there she appeared. Using Linux is going to be nothing short of educational.
