Trying to install “avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb” for Ubuntu 8.04

I downloaded to Desktop. Entered the follow systax in Konsole Terminal

sudo dpkg -i avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb

Am able to run the package installer, but receive following error in Terminal

“dpkg: error processing avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb (–install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb”

A previous post says it was fixed with the following command(s)? But it does not work. I get: No such file or directory.

“cd /usr/lib/avast4workstation/share/avast/desktop && sudo ./install-desktop-entries.sh install”

Any help would be much appreciated. -R

before launching dpkg -i avast4workstation…deb , you should :

be connected as root

and you should be in the directory where the package is .

for example if the package was downloaded in /home/mysoftware ,

open a console ,

type “su” (press enter key)

type " cd /home/mysoftware" ( press enter key )

type dpkg -i avast4workstation…deb (press enter key )

avast is installed :slight_smile:

to be able to install desktop items, you must have the package installed properly first. but that wasn’t our case, let’s see the “no such file or directory” message - you spawned dpkg -i over a non-existent file (weasn’t present in your current directory - just go to the directory where the file sits, OR give the installer full path to the file).
