My package installer is rejecting the RoG installer, error message below.

This looks like the kind of thing I could just let it install and repair the damage using chmod, but it seems absolutely unbelievable to me that if the problem with the package really is that simple it hasn't been fixed yet. So, is this just what the linux players have been doing, or do I have a weirder problem here?

Lintian check results for /home/d/Downloads/dont_starve_dlc1_1.0.0.1(1).deb:
E: gog-dont-starve-dlc1: control-file-has-bad-owner postinst pmirecki/pmirecki != root/root

[hundreds of identical errors for different files within the pack omitted]


Can I use the RoG tarball having used the base game .deb, or will that not fly?

May want to send in a support ticket with that info.

I went 75% of the way through the process to submit a ticket, but it demands a GOG system report, and I just glanced at all the info in that report and I don't think I care to send it to anyone. Hopefully a GOG dev will just see this post and take initiative to fix it.

For future reference you can just attach an empty text file.

I considered blanking the irrelevant data but I didn't try for assuming it would gripe at me for a malformed report. :'P Thanks for the tip, good to know an empty file is accepted.
