Cannot Install Ubuntu/Debian version of Datasoul 2.0 beta 4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download the .deb file from this web site
2. Try to install either through GDebi or dpkg
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see the program install correctly. Instead, GDebi does not install at 
all (doesn't give errors, either), and using 'dpkg -i 
datasoul_2.0_beta4_all.deb' I get the following errors on the terminal:

dpkg: error processing datasoul_2.0_beta4_all.deb (--install):
 parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 2 package 'datasoul':
 error in Version string '2.0_beta4': invalid character in version number
Errors were encountered while processing:
 datasoul_2.0_beta4_all.deb

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Datasoul 2.0 beta 4 on 32-bit Linux Mint 10 (equal to Ubuntu 10.10)

Please provide any additional information below.

I was having this issue on Ubuntu 10.10 as well.  However, I was also having 
some wireless driver issues as well, and downgraded to 10.04.  Datasoul 
installs fine on 10.04.  I'm not sure what changed that might be causing 
this... But, it appears that the version of gdebi in 10.10 doesn't like either 
the underscore or the letters in the version number.  You may want to report 
this as a regression to gdebi.

For me it has the same problem. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and gives error on 
installation!

What's the solution? I am urgently in need!

Thank you!

I've had the same issue with two machines.  I resolved it by downloading the 
rpm version.  I extracted this and then copied the results to the root
sudo cp -R ./usr /
Then I was able to double click on /usr/bin/datasoul and up it popped.
Hope that helps
Now to work out how the program works

I tried today to install Datasoul on a laptop running the latest version of 
Ubuntu, updated to latest Linux Kernel just this morning.
I cannot install the deb package.

I see this has been an issue for over three months now. What is the progress?

It's already fixed in the code. I need to complete one more feature for the 
next version (remote displays), but I've been a little busy over the past few 
months (got married, moved home, etc). I hope to have the version ready soon.
