Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
"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."
This is a known good package, the linitan errors are valid - but a deb
should not have to comply with the latest policy standards to be able to
be installed.
Errors which should really be ignored:
no-copyright-file
dir-or-file-in-opt
These two errors do not inherently make a package of bad quality.
However, there should always be the ability to say, "No, i know better -
please continue".
Thanks.
