It looks like you're actually having trouble with Ubuntu, not with bzr?

Switching back to Open and moving to Ubuntu

Thanks for answering Martin. I am using Alpha 3 Karmic version of Ubuntu so it
very well could be a Ubuntu problem. All other funtions working fine with 9.10 as of now.
Will just wait and see if further dist updates gives a fix. Not an important problem but I seem
to want every function and app work properly. No further info to add.
 App did work just fine in 9.04, matter of fact I was so stable I just had to upgrade to 9.10.

For me with an updated and upgraded Ubuntu 9.10 32 bits devel release of Karmic Koala the gnome-app-install is working for me using menu or using the terminal command:

sudo gnome-app-install

be sure your release is fully updated/upgraded... from terminal:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install

Hope this helps

Marco thanks for help cleaned updated installed new package from repository and not cached one.
With 64 bit Karmic it just does not want to function. Same exact error. It sures seems like a fresh install would
solve but doe's not. I wonder if anyone with 64 bit 9.10 has gnome-app-install in working order?
