How can dpkg -i install it? You're talking about on the tablet I presume? CORRECT 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
