MailScanner 5.0.7-2

[Michael Abboud]

Hi List,

My first post, so please forgive any obvious blunders...

I downloaded *MailScanner-5.0.7-2.deb.tar*, extracted and ran:

*./install.sh --update*

...on my:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial

...server.

The *./install --update *command worked up until the last part of the 
script which attempts to install the .deb package.

The install log says:
.

.
Installing the MailScanner .deb package ...

directory

script `screen-cleanup'
Errors were encountered while processing:
  /home/sysadmin/MailScanner-5.0.7-2/MailScanner-5.0.7-2-noarch.deb

I'm wondering if the *.deb* package is somehow corrupt?

I also tried Mark's approach using the *Build.deb* script but I couldn't 
get the build to succeed on my Ubuntu server.

Any thoughts for a newbie?

Best regards,
Michael
