Show us the exact error message you get from dpkg. I recommend using the
"script" command to record installation sessions; if you use "script,"
you can get an exact record of the commands you typed and the output
from dpkg and other installation programs.

As the OP didn't write which program displayed the error message, it isn't
clear if script would help. That would only capture error message from
command line programs while many use synaptic and other graphical package
managers. Then there is still the option of using copy & paste or as a
last resort a digital camera (if available).

What? Gnomoids don't have an equivalent of ksnapshot (screen capture)?

Print Screen button to capture your desktop.

Alt-PrintScreen to grab the active window.

Whew! It seemed like a rather glaring omission :-)
