Hi,

First sorry about my english. I´m using Gtranslate.

I had install the pidesktop-base i my raspi but ist fail. The console say:

`dpkg-deb:` error: `pidesktop-base.deb 'is not a Debian format file
dpkg: error processing the pidesktop-base.deb file (--install):
  dpkg-deb thread --control returned error exit code 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
  pidesktop-base.deb

I had installed the original previous file version without troubles but your version its better (the last year I used and is fabulous, could be the file is corrupted?

Thanks for your amazing work

You should be able to install it with sudo dpkg -i pidesktop-base.deb, try downloading the package again? It has not changed in the past 15 months.

You can also try dpkg --info pidesktop-base.deb which will scan the .deb file and show what is in the package along with metadata about the pidesktop-base.deb file.
