Hi,

thanks for the information. I do not know how it was created as it comes as part of the opensource monitoring project checkmk. With your information I was able to repack it using the following commands

fakeroot sh -c '
mkdir tmp
dpkg-deb -R file.deb tmp
dpkg-deb -b tmp file-new.deb
'

Afterwards I was able to upload it.

Nevertheless you might want to consider allowing trailing slashes in a future release as the link you provided states they are allowed:

...Only the common ar archive format is supported, with no long file name extensions, but with file names containing an optional trailing slash, which limits their length to 15 characters (from the 16 allowed)....

I am trying to upload the current check_mk agent deb file (check-mk-agent_2.0.0p3-1_all.deb) to the feed I created using the webinterface. This produces the following error:

this is the full text of the error message:

I can install this deb file without any problems using apt install /tmp/check-mk-agent_2.0.0p3-1_all.deb Uploading other deb files works
