I agree with Jaime. This should really be fixed before release, it will be giving bad press if it does not. Users will hate Ubuntu for it and that is exactly what is not needed. I just persuaded a lot of people to use it and they are quite happy, I would not like to tell them not to upgrade for a while. The automatic updates for distribution upgrades are set to LTS release at least by default, so this might affect a lot of current users!

[Bug 1290228] Re: (14.04) Unable to install external deb packages "Package operation Failed"
Vincent, I completely agree. The clock is ticking and the official release date is fast approaching. If Ubuntu is to be widely adopted, then basic things like installing from a .deb package with the software center need to work flawlessly 100% of the time. At the very least, can we include in the error message the exact command needed to install through the commandline? For instance, I just had this problem when installing google-talkplugin. I should get a message that says something like "The Software Center could not install this for you. Try running `sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/google-talkplugin- current_amd64.deb` in a terminal." This would at least empower the users who are not deathly afraid of commandline interfaces. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290228 Title: (14.04) Unable to install external deb packages "Package operation Failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/software-center/+bug/1290228/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just a little addition for Comment #21 If you intend to use the Software Center to install "GDebi Package Installer", do it BEFORE attempting to install "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" via the Software Center. Once you enter the failed state associated with "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" installation, you are toast. If you have spent any time in the windoze world, you would have created an image before trying to install something; restored the working image if/when the installation failed; and then experimented to find a work around. Being more robust, Linux does not warrant those extra steps when dealing with open source.

Software Center correctly installed the following programs when executed following the 64-bit 2014-03_11.iso Desktop Installation (3.13.0-16-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 4 23:02:40 UTC 2014): 1. Ubuntu Restricted Extras 2. Google Chrome Debian install 3. GParted 4. VLC 5. Unetbootin Software Center will hang if the first program installed is Ubuntu Restricted Extras. This bug manifests in every install after 2014-03_11 that I tested including the 2014-03_25 iso. Software Center will fail with a Package operation failed error when a Google Chrome Debian install is attempted. After that an attempt to install Ubuntu Restricted Extras or GParted would fail with the same error. Note, if the first program installed was GParted rather than Google Chrome or Unbuntu Restricted Extras, the GParted installation would be successful. Knowing the approximate date that the failure was introduced should help. Also, I am somewhat concerned that usability regression testing may not catch this because the problem manifests differently depending upon which program is installed first. Finally, if I install from 2014-03-11 and then update to (3.13.0-19-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 24 02:36:06 UTC 2014) the failures described above will occur. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290228 Title: (14.04) Unable to install external deb packages "Package operation Failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/software-center/+bug/1290228/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
