Title: Message Title

Joe Mihalich created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-61656 Unable to install latest version on Ubuntu 12.04 Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: core Created: 2020-03-24 06:54 Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 Java 8 Priority: Major Reporter: Joe Mihalich I was trying to upgrade from 2.180 to 2.227 on Ubuntu 12.04.  The following error was output by the installer: dpkg-deb: error: archive 'jenkins_2.227_all.deb' contains not understood data member control.tar.xz, giving up It appears, perhaps, that at some point between build 180 and 227 the jenkins build script started using a new compression format for the deb packages that older versions of apt-get/dpkg don't support? Do you know which version this started in?  And is this something that was intentional, and there fore is not going to be fixed? I didn't see anywhere in the release notes anything saying support was deprecated for any ubuntu versions.  apt-get install pulled down version 227, so presumably it was intended to work on 12.04?   Here's my environment specifics: jmihalich@ubermedia-prod-jenkins:/var/lib/jenkins$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
