I get the following when trying to install the .deb package on Ubuntu. Based on the errors reported seems like something which could be addressed fairly easily.

Install spits out:

Lintian check results for /tmp/moneydance.deb:
E: moneydance: control-file-has-bad-owner md5sums 0/0 != root/root

E: moneydance: control-file-has-bad-permissions postinst 0744 != 0755

E: moneydance: control-file-has-bad-owner postinst 0/0 != root/root

   The Ubuntu software centre is a bit more picky about permissions in .deb files that prior versions. You can click ignore and install and the package will install just fine. Alternatively you can use gdebi to install the package.

   We use a 3rd party program to package Moneydance into a deb and it looks like the problem is with this 3rd party program. I have contacted them and hope to get a fix soon.

   Thanks Ben, I will give that a try this evening. Please post back if/when the 3rd party fixes the issue.
