Lintian check results for /tmp/remobo_0.50.3-1_i386.deb:
E: remobo: control-file-has-bad-permissions postinst 0775 != 0755

E: remobo: control-file-has-bad-permissions postrm 0775 != 0755

This is a fresh install of beta 2. Worked fine in b1

Thanks for bring this up. It’s our packaging mistake. The Remobo debian’s control files should have permission mode of “0755”, instead of “0775”. We’ll have it fixed in the next release.

Hi,
I have the same problem!
How can I install remobo anyway?

To markinmaine and max71:

The latest release of v0.60.0 should have this permission problem fixed. Please try it out and let us know

I just installed on an Oneric beta 2 box, and it is still complaining that the package is of bad quality (installs and runs perfectly, however), Details offered by the Ubuntu Software Center are:

markeelxps:

Sorry for the delay. We’re trying to fix it in the next release.

To gee:
I have the same problem of markeelxps.
When does come the next release approximately?

The next release of Remobo v0.60.2 should be out by end of this month.

@max71, which linux distribution & what version have you encountered the problem while installing Remobo? And is it just a warning for you, or does it prevent you from installing Remobo correctly?

@gee, my distribution is ubuntu 11.04, I encountered the problem in this version.
While installing, the system give me the same result of “markeelxps”, but sincerelly I never gone on, I don’t know if the installation goes right anyway. From a week, I will updatade OS to 11.10 version,then I will retry to install remobo, maybe, some change.
