Hey, biotin!
Are you absolutely sure you need this?
From the README:
NOTE to non-Debian-based users
Felipe (the author) then goes on to describe how to download dpkg!
( which comes installed by default on Debian I presume? )
From aaa_base-1.0-1.deb description:
Description: aaa_base, never uninstall it.
This package is intended for non-Debian users that wish to create .deb
packages. It allows them to remove packages wich contain dirs such as '/',
'/usr', etc.. This package is directly based in aaa_base.tgz from the
Slackware-7.1 distribution.
It shouldn't be necessary to install it in Debian systems.
Bottomline
if you run Debian Testing you don't need this.
This package is for people installing/uninstalling a .deb on other distros.
I also noticed the strong _never uninstall it_.
I have a feeling something really bad happens if you do uninstall it...
I was confused too.
I also tried to install it.
This error is a godsend, i.e., it is in fact a feature.
If you are running a distro other than Debian and:
- need to install this;
- install dpkg and run into this issue;
- simply look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/191850/sudo-dpkg-error-blank-line-in-value-of-field-maintainer
- yank the newline in the description;
- try again -- it might work, I don't know :)
Don't go here:
The NSA is watching!
