I am having difficulty installing cm3-LINUXLIBC6-REL.deb on Trusty?
When I try to install it with Ubuntu Software Centre I get told the
following:<br>

<blockquote>Lintian check results for
/home/bruce/Downloads/cm3-LINUXLIBC6-REL.deb:<br>
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at

<br>
Is this a Perl issue or an installer issue?<br>
