At the first time when I started to use Freespire I was so surprised. Version 2.0.8 is so well-designed and everything worked. Ehh, alomst everything. With the using of the system I found out that my installation is progressively failing. I do not know why. But the effect and defect of this was only to the CNR. Every time I tried to install something I got the message “CNR received dpkg error”.
Then my next actions was to investigate the reason this error happen. I have used the tool “strace” and the following log files show all the actions of the CNR client.
After the first investigation for this error I found how it is happened. It seems the cause of this was the CNR client itself. When the client have failed with installation of particular application then next installations somehow reports error but in fact there is no error and the application is installed correctly. For me, that is obvious bug in the CNR client appears in some particular cases. My case was VirtualBox but probably it may happen with other applications too.
To fix it and make the client work properly I just removed the virtualbox package manually via apt-get. After that CNR client began to work as it has to.
