MailScanner 5.0.7-2

[Jerry Benton]

Did you run this installer as the root user? On Ubuntu, after you log in:



sudo -i



Then install.

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 ...

`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

I notice 5.0.7-2 is not yet available at

FWIW, I built the Debian package from a clone of
<https://github.com/MailScanner/v5> using the Build.debian script and
installed it on two different Ubuntu 16.04 systems via

./install.sh --update

and had no problems.
