To the OP: Don't write to me directly. That's what this list is for.
If you follow the output log above, you'll see that all you actually
downloaded was the get_iplayer home page, not a DEB package. All the
resources at linuxcentre.net disappeared long ago and now just redirect
to the get_iplayer home page. Unfortunately, old versions of
get_iplayer like yours have bogus update instructions, which have been
removed in the latest release. That's why in the release announcement I
said that the self-update facility was not suitable for installations
performed with a package manager (your case) or a Windows installer.
The best thing to do would be to completely remove get_iplayer using
apt-get and reinstall a fresh copy. If you can just grab the tarball
and install get_iplayer yourself, that should suffice. If you want to
use apt-get, special measures may be required. I'm going to guess that
with get_iplayer 2.78 you're using Debian Squeeze. On my Squeeze
system, I just installed the DEB available here (snapshot for Debian
Wheezy package):
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/get-iplayer/2.82-1/
I also installed ffmpeg from squeeze-backports. I can't remember which
other dependencies I had to install separately, so just make sure to
also install rtmpdump, mplayer, atomicparsley, id3v2 and
libmp3-tag-perl. Someone who is more of a Debianista may be able to
give you better directions on this.
