Can't install deb on Ubuntu 20.04

[dhs-rec]

Description

When installing the downloaded Debian package I get the following error:

# apt-get install ./Whalebird-4.5.2-linux-x64.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'whalebird' instead of './Whalebird-4.5.2-linux-x64.deb'

 error creating hard link './usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/whalebird.png': Invalid cross-device link
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ./Whalebird-4.5.2-linux-x64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I guess it's trying to create a hard link (ln) where it should create a symbolic link (ln -s)...

How To Reproduce

1. Download Debian package
2. Install using above command

Your Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Whalebird Version: 4.5.2

I can install it in clean ubuntu:20.04.
What files are there in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256 ?

[dhs-rec]

That's not relevant. The keyword above is cross-device link. The package is trying to create a hard link across filesystem borders, which is not possible. On your system the link source and target may reside on the same filesystem, but on mine that's obviously not the case. Therefor: Simply use a symbolic link.
