AVAST 1.0.8-2 Install Error on Kubuntu 8.04
« on: August 28, 2008, 10:42:32 PM »
Trying to install "avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb" for Ubuntu 8.04

I downloaded to Desktop.  Entered the follow systax in Konsole Terminal

sudo dpkg -i avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb

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"

A previous post says it was fixed with the following command(s)?  But it does not work.  I get: No such file or directory.

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

Any help would be much appreciated. -R

before launching dpkg -i avast4workstation....deb , you should :

be connected as root

and you should be in the directory where the package is .


for example if the package was downloaded in /home/mysoftware ,

open a console ,

type "su" (press enter key)

type " cd /home/mysoftware" ( press enter key )

type dpkg -i avast4workstation.....deb (press enter key )


avast is installed  :)

sudo dpkg -i avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb

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


to be able to install desktop items, you must have the package installed properly first. but that wasn't our case, let's see the "no such file or directory" message - you spawned dpkg -i over a non-existent file (weasn't present in your current directory - just go to the directory where the file sits, OR give the installer full path to the file).
