    Hi,

    Just bought and downloaded the Humble Bundle and got Dungeons of Dredmor in the pack. I have downloaded it and compared md5 sums and they match. However when trying to install I get this message:
    Code:
    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.

    Is it a bad build? How can it be fixed?

    Thanks!

    The package contains the graphics dependencies. Which I think is generally frowned upon by linux packaging standards. Beyond the issues mentioned by others in the forums (which are being worked on or already fixed by the devs), it will install and run fine. If you already have the dependencies installed, you could try moving/deleting the /dredmor/amd64 and /dedmor/x86 folders after it installs, and it should get the libraries from your OS instead.

    I've never seen that particular error, but it should be fine. (We didn't do the Linux packaging for the HIB; some guy from Gameolith did, but he seems to know his stuff.)

    (Remember, folks: Linux software package management is designed to never work with Commercial Software, EVER. Because it is BAD and RMS said so and by playing Dredmor you are committing GNU/LINUX TREASON. (End rant.))
