I have somewhat related problem with this error. I had a 10.10 instal where I used SecureCRT 6.7 and inSSIDer (both Linux 64bit versions). They worked fine. Then I made an upgrade to 11.04 beta 2 and both apps worked fine. But after I made a fresh install of 11.04 beta 2 I could not install both apps from the same archives I used before. Both give me this "Bad Quality" errors and even if using GDebi they install fine both do not start, ever.

[Bug 712377] Re: Opening a known good *.deb with software centre, fails to install as lintian errors cannot be overidden
Following up from #41. Sorry but the changes to software-center don't cut it for the distribution independent LSB compliant printer driver packages. The real problem is not just that you can't force installation of the package, it is also the fact that these printer drivers are labelled "bad quality" on insufficient grounds. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for applying quality checks on third party packages before installation. It's a Good Thing. The problem that we have here is that the implementation is questionable. The quality checks that are applied here, a subset of those provided by lintian, check for Debian Policy compliance and a few questionable packaging practices. Debian Policy is distribution specific, for the Debian distribution to be precise, and concerns itself with packages meant for that distribution. It makes little to no provisions for the LSB. Now aptdaemon goes ahead and tries to impose these distribution specific compliance tests on a package that is a) not part of Debian, b) meant to be distribution independent and c) LSB compliant. Failing any of the Debian specific compliance checks does not warrant a "bad quality" label. Feel free to pull the distribution independent LSB compliant printer driver packages through LSB compliance tests and label them "bad quality" when any of those fail, but please don't do so for failing a Debian distribution compliance test. That said, please remove "missing-dependency-on-libc" from data/lintian- checks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712377 Title: Opening a known good *.deb with software centre, fails to install as lintian errors cannot be overidden -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It must be possible to install LSB-based packages. To make them distribution-independent, they do not have lots of dependencies (like on libc) but depend only on the meta package "lsb" which in turn is dependent on everything what the LSB requires.

LSB compliant printer drivers with a libc dependency as distributed via the Linux Foundation's OpenPrinting Database still fail to install. These packages do not specify an explicit dependency on libc but rely on the distribution's lsb package to do so. The LSB is clear about what API of libc has to be present. Compliant drivers only use what is in specified in the LSB. Please remove "missing-dependency-on-libc" from data/lintian-checks. It is already listed in a non fatal section, so please don't bomb on this. FYI, the drivers distributed via the OpenPrinting Database are normally installed automatically when people connect their printer. This is a new feature in Natty and works fine. However, manually downloading that same driver and double clicking it bombs. It really shouldn't, at least not because of an indirect libc dependency via the lsb package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712377 Title: Opening a known good *.deb with software centre, fails to install as lintian errors cannot be overidden -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have tried installing World of Goo but I got the same problem again. I've got the download from the humble bundle site, so it's perfectly trusted. I get the same problem too with Google App Inventor, so it's not a bug in the World of Goo package. I've also tried installing Skype, this does work for some mysterious reason. I'm running 11.04 with the latest updates. Please note that I do have a PPA with the latest daily of Unity, but I don't think that's the problem. Here's the error message (with Google App Inventor, from the regular Google site): " The package is of bad quality The installation of a package which violates the quality standards isn't allowed. This could cause serious problems on your computer. Please contact the person or organisation who provided this package file and include the details beneath." And here are more details: "Lintian check results for /home/sjoerd/Downloads/appinventor-setup_1.1_all.deb: E: appinventor-setup: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object ./usr/google/appinventor/commands-for-Appinventor/adb E: appinventor-setup: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object ./usr/google/appinventor/commands-for-Appinventor/emulator E: appinventor-setup: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object ./usr/google/appinventor/commands-for-Appinventor/mksdcard " I run Ubuntu 11.04, latest updates.

[Bug 712377] Re: Opening a known good *.deb with software centre, fails to install as lintian errors cannot be overidden
The error dialog should in the case provide an action to force the installation of the package. You just have to call aptdaemon.client.install_file(path, force=True) to override the warning. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712377 Title: Opening a known good *.deb with software centre, fails to install as lintian errors cannot be overidden -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Since these same packages that software center refuses to install can be installed using "sudo apt-get install PACKAGE", this is a serious issue for those uses left wondering what happened.
