igi The problem I was reporting, was a problem after the package was installed. This was resolved by a subsequent software update.
There is a bug in the Ubuntu Software Centre which results in it reporting that some packages do not meet package quality standards, and as a short term 'fix', follow the procedure outlined in 'https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth', but don't install via the USC. Go to the directory where the file was downloaded and , as you suggest, run 'sudo dpkg -i <debian-package>.deb'. I suggest that this bug be marked as closed and a new bug report be raised to report the problem with installing software via the USC, (if one hasn't been raised already). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741185 Title: Google Earth Package Locks up in Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
