Hi,
I downloaded the glestae-0.3.2-Linux32.deb installer a couple of days ago and tried to install it on Ubuntu 11.04 (Linux kernel 2.6.38-11 generic) and got a message from the OS saying "the package is of bad quality". There were a lot of errors flagged about "wrong uid or gid" in and around /usr/bin and /usr/share, and as that is a rather scary area for anything to get messed up in (and the message recommended not installing) I didn't install it.
I had a quick look round the forums and couldn't see any mention of this already, so I'm wondering if it's my system. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
the deb package is old and not tested on newer versions of ubuntu. There seem to be some problems:

We're not really maintaining the package. Build from source (see docs/README.linux in the source tarball) or install the deb package anyway. If they haven't fixed their aptdaemon yet, try it on commandline 'dpkg -i <debfile>'.
We'll provide package repositories for some distribution in the future, but not for old releases.
