Comment #5 by Donald Dwane ROSS:

Testing Package installation in Ubuntu 15.04 using Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic & Gdebi-gtk.
Ubuntu Software Center installs and warns of bad package on ALL packages built by Gambas3.8 but the packages seem to work.
Synaptic Install and Removes packages I build with Gambas3.8 and has no warnings.
Gdebi-gtk (seems to tell the story) installs and removes and has good detail'd warnings list of the package build (shows lots of problems).

I will try more package builds with the 3 package managers and I may add dpkg in with the installers to try.

Gambas 3.8 seems to be creating a directory in "Computer" (where bin, boot, dev, etc, root, tmp)...etc is called ' (the Gambas remark tick) that does nothing, in it there are directorys that are empty, one ends in ' and both are 0 items in size. This doesn't seem like it should be there and is being sited as a problem in Ubuntu Software Center and Gdebi-gtk as being a non standard directory (the one called '). The package installers are calling it '/ but it ends up non hidden with permissions drwxr-xr-x. The screens I add to the package are where they should be with a lock symbol and are removed with program removal by synaptic or gdebi along with the ' directory and its inner directory's. There seems to be a lot of packages that don't assemble up to the https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html standards. I am finding that Google's Chrome at least did flag as a bad package build (I haven't tried that one, I use Firefox).
