Just passing on a warning that one of our users reported... I told them to 
proceed anyway and they are happy but other people might hit this and not 
install so I think it is worth looking into..


When installing turbovnc_1.2.1_amd64.deb on Ubuntu 14.04 a warning pops up...

"The package is of bad quality

The installation of a package which violates the quality standards isn't 
allowed. This could cause serious problems on your computer. Please contact the 
person or organisation who provided this package file and include the details 
beneath.

Details: The package doesn't provide a valid Installed-Size control field. See 
Debian Policy 5.6.20."


A quick Google...

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html

"5.6.20 Installed-Size

This field appears in the control files of binary packages, and in the Packages 
files. It gives an estimate of the total amount of disk space required to 
install the named package. Actual installed size may vary based on block size, 
file system properties, or actions taken by package maintainer scripts.

The disk space is given as the integer value of the estimated installed size in 
bytes, divided by 1024 and rounded up."

Thanks!
