Installation on Ubuntu 20.04 fails

[marcmaj]

Installing fails with following error: sudo dpkg -i com.github.spheras.desktopfolder_1.1.2_amd64.deb

Selecting previously unselected package com.github.spheras.desktopfolder. (Reading database ... 340315 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack com.github.spheras.desktopfolder_1.1.2_amd64.deb ... Unpacking com.github.spheras.desktopfolder (1.1.2) ...

Workaround: Only way to install desktopfolder is to manually edit postinst script i.e. /var/lib/dpkg/info/com.github.spheras.desktopfolder.postinst and remove this line: killall com.github.spheras.desktopfolder. After that sudo apt install -f and app is installed.

Removing is similar, first edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/com.github.spheras.desktopfolder.prerm and remove this line: killall com.github.spheras.desktopfolder then sudo apt purge com.github.spheras.desktopfolder

BTW - v1.1.2 is available in the normal ubuntu repositories

sudo apt install desktopfolder

Thank you @marcmaj for reporting. @fossfreedom, did you remove/replace that line too in budgie branch? What is your advice about that? Thx!

I don't have any additional installation scripts for debian & ubuntu

https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/desktopfolder/tree/debian/debian

I didn't see any reasons to include them.

I removed those scripts from the deb installation
