Opening the .deb provided for elasticsearch 0.20.2 on ubuntu 12.10 gives me the following message:

The package is of bad quality

Hey there,

I cannot reproduce this on Ubuntu. What exactly did you do?

It is ok that lintian produces these errors (it complains that we ship files that are not arch independent in a seemingly arch independent package). However we use these files only if elasticsearch is running on that architecture.

Anyway, do you get this exception when trying to install the debian package?

I got the same error in ubuntu 13.04 and elasticsearch-0.90.1.
What I did was simply download the .deb file from elastisearch.org, open it with the Ubuntu Software Center and select install. Then I get this error.

Ah, I see, so you are not simply calling dpkg -i elasticsearch-0.90.1.deb but you are using a GUI.

Maybe there are parameters to make lintian ignore this kind of stuff. I need to check that (we try not to provide a per architecture package).

Thanks for clarifying!

Making deb installable by being lintian compatible
6d0df41 
According to elastic#2515 the ubuntu software center does not allow to install
debian packages which are not lintian compatible

I worked on the package and made it lintian compatible by doing

* Ignoring errors about arch dependent binaries as we will not split
  this package. The arch dependent libraries are used correctly.
* Fixed permissions
* Added a copyright file pointing to the apache license in debian

Closes elastic#2515
Closes elastic#2320
