<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Hi List,<br>
<br>
My first post, so please forgive any obvious blunders...<br>
<br>
I downloaded <b>MailScanner-5.0.7-2.deb.tar</b>, extracted and
ran:<br>
<br>
<b>./install.sh --update</b><br>
<br>
...on my:<br>
<br>
<font color="#ff0000">Distributor ID: Ubuntu<br>
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS<br>
Release: 16.04<br>
Codename: xenial</font><br>
<br>
...server.<br>
<br>
The <b>./install --update </b>command worked up until the last
part of the script which attempts to install the .deb package.<br>
<br>
The install log says:<br>

<br>
I'm wondering if the <b>.deb</b> package is somehow corrupt?<br>
<br>
I also tried Mark's approach using the <b>Build.deb</b> script
but I couldn't get the build to succeed on my Ubuntu server.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts for a newbie?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Michael<br>

FWIW, I built the Debian package from a clone of<br>
<<a href="https://github.com/MailScanner/v5" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/MailScanne<wbr>r/v5</a>>
using the Build.debian script and<br>
installed it on two different Ubuntu 16.04 systems via<br>
<br>
./install.sh --update<br>
<br>
and had no problems.<br>
