Error "E: Unable to locate package netflix-desktop" on Ubuntu 15.10

I've pushed an Ubuntu 15.10 build using the same code as for previous Ubuntu releases, please give it a try and see if it works.

Hello Erich,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Now I could start the installation (the package is found), but I got other errors and the installation was not successful.

When I try to open Netflix Desktop, nothing happens.

After a while, it appears in my desktop a message saying about a failure when downloading additional data. I choose the option to download and install these packages, but the error happens again.

Follows the log:

It looks like they changed the way the data downloader works _again_ (ugh). Could you send me the output of?:
ls -haltF /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial

Hello,

After rebooting the system, the directory was empty:

$ sudo ls -haltF /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial
total 8,0K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4,0K Dez 3 17:52 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Dez 3 17:52 ./

BUT,

During the installation, I checked out the directory and it seemed that at least temporarily, the files were there....

$ sudo ls -haltF /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial
total 19M
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19M Dez 3 20:22 ?product=firefox-22.0&os=win&lang=en-US

$ sudo ls -haltF /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial
total 8,0K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4,0K Dez 3 20:22 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Dez 3 20:22 ./

BUT

After receiving the errors (the same as in my first message), the directory is empty again:

$ sudo ls -haltF /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial
total 8,0K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4,0K Dez 3 20:22 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Dez 3 20:22 ./

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.
