Hi,
I'm trying to make an .deb file, but I obviously doing something wrong. When I install my package with gdebi-gtk I get an error message (the file may be corrupt..), but when I install it with 'dpkg -i' however, it installs fine.

Can someone take a look at the package in the attachment?

OK, I've found a tool called lintian (which most of you properly know). It checks .deb-packages, and returns errors if they're not valid.

It have found some permission errors (which are fixed now) and these ones:
E: mypackage: no-copyright-file
E: mypackage: changelog-file-missing-in-native-package
W: mypackage: unknown-section internet

The first two are easy to fix, but the last one.. does anyone has got a list with sections?

I'm stuck.
Lintian says everything is fine, but I still can't get it install via the GUI. Dpkg installs fine. Anybody?

Edit: Package attached.
