If you can not put the MJPG-streamer on Ubuntu 11.04

With the release of Ubuntu 11.04, the mjpg-streamer package , which is very useful for organizing video surveillance via USB webcams, has ceased to be installed on it.

The problem is offensively ridiculous - the description of the package version does not comply with the rules of the "Application Center". To solve it, we need to rebuild this package.
Download the latest build mjpg-streamer_r94-1_i386.deb and for simplicity, rename it mjpg-streamer.deb, put it in the root of your user directory.
Next, perform:

dpkg-deb -x mjpg-streamer.deb tmpdir
dpkg-deb --control mjpg-streamer.deb tmpdir/DEBIAN

Now in any editor, we change the version number in the tmpdir / DEBIAN / control file from r94-1 to 94.1

nano tmpdir/DEBIAN/control

We collect the package again
')
dpkg -b tmpdir mjpeg-streamer_my.deb

we have a nice mjpeg-streamer_my.deb in the root directory, open it in the "Application Center". Pipsay "install." We agree that it is not kosher, but we still want to install it.
Mustache.
