Cannot update to avast! 4.1.278

system · October 7, 2003, 4:43pm

Hi everybody ;). I tried twice to update my avast! 4.1.268 but in both occasions I received an error message saying that the package was broken ???.

Anyway, I’m now downloading the full installer for avast but I thought that the guys from the avast! team would like to know this. This is the complete log:

Sorry to hear your news. I also have the same problem. As per your suggestion, I will try a fresh install and hope the situation does not repeat.

Hi there,

you might want to have a look at http://www.avast.com/forum/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=1395 - I workarounded the problem (somehow) by wget’ing two files manually.

Hope that helps,
ts

Hi, new here.

I too also get the package was broken error message. (did 3 times reload. but no luck )
And updater hungs at end ctl + alt + del to end avast updater tasks.

didn’t try the ts’s workaround yet. I well try later.

[Edit] Thanks! ts. Your workaround works!.

Get “broken package” with iAVS update too. Not good, but I’m sure they’ll have it fixed soon, avast never sleeps!
