Package Is Broken

We started getting these failures on several machines today. It says The package is broken.

It says it updated the VPS from 100811-0 to 100811-1

Servers listed were different, same result on multiple machines.

Anyone else getting this?

You and I posted at the same time. :slight_smile:

I’m getting it for many of my 4.8 Pro users this afternoon.

@ MEC2
What avast version and OS are you using ?

If you haven’t already done this - try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.

I’m also seeing ‘The package is broken’ all across my network although I don’t understand why it is advised that I repair the many installations of Avast! when it looks like it is the latest downloadable definition package that is hosed?

Well I have just had 100811-1 update and no issues, though that is on avast5, which is why the question about what version of avast as there are effectively two virus signature streams.

I just received it on two different boxes, Windows 200 & Win XP.
Version 4.8.1368

Dave,

I think everyone here is on 4.8 that’s reporting the problem.

Getting the same with most of my clients and my systems too

All of our systems with version 4.8.1335.
Is there any fix besides update to 5.0?

i’m a newbie.
I also got ‘package broken’ today. I have now downloaded v.5 and wonder why I didn’t get alert that an updated version was available. Guess I should have checked. I’m a free home user and Avast has kept me trouble free until last nite. I visited a website that I often frequent, a forum, clicked on one of the forum topics and a video jumped in which I could not end. I had to shut down firefox, then uninstall it the next day and reinstall. Right after I got the Avast package problem, so I kinda figured whatever that virus video was, it had also attacked Avast. Especially as it had sneaked by Avast. So now I’ve downloaded v5 and am running a thorough scan, which is creating it’s own problem, but I’ll check the rest of this forum to see if there’s already a topic on it. Just fyi: it’s taking about an hour and claims it’s checked 12GB so far. i don’t have that big a system! So I’m not sure what’s going on.

Versions are showing 4.8.1368 for my clients.

Hello,

Best Regards
