Thanks for the thoughtful report. However, the problem isn't quite as it appears.
dpkg is decompressing the package archive, and then having a problem with dependencies (bug 869683). USC is failing to decompress the archive in the first place (bug 868188). It never gets as far as checking the dependencies -- as far as it can tell, the package is just unreadable. So USC can't be as verbose as dpkg, because it is experiencing a different and much simpler error. Probably the error message could be more precise, but I doubt it could be more detailed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878797 Title: Internal error installing a .deb is not verbose enough To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/878797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
