Using Linda



Hi All,

 

Have just set up Linda or I thought I had.

When I run ‘linda package.deb’ I get errors as follows:

 

debian:/home/david/Desktop/Downloads# linda checkinstall_1.6.1-1_i386.deb

Linda: Running as root, dropping to nobody.

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/linda", line 101, in ?

    main.run()

What is the problem here?
