Application manager says file corrupted

I created a 323MB deb and about 1GB uncompressed....

dpkg -i deb works without any issues, but application manager says its a corrupted file?

Its setup like all my other debs (which work great) and I don't think I am doing anything wrong? Does the application manager have a size limitation?

Anyone got any ideas?

Re: Application manager says file corrupted

hmm, do you have enough free space to decompress it? The logic to determine whether a file is corrupted may be something along the lines of: try to decompress, if there's a failure (no matter if that's caused by no more disk space) then report that it's corrupt.

How can dpkg -i install it? You're talking about on the tablet I presume? I thought that the whole file had to be decompressed before the bits are moved around or is dpkg more intelligent than that and can decompress individual parts somehow?

This is what is confusing me, so dpkg can install it without extracting it first and the application manager can't. Is this a bug or a feature?

It does show an out of space in the log reported from tar in the application manager logs, but WTF. This very annoying

Any ideas
