WARNING: I am not sure if someone has posted this before but I didn't make sure so please don't send hate at me

 

So I was going to install a package when I came along this error:

 

dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege

 

Don't worry there is a fix:

 

Requirements:

MTerminal

Filza Or iFile

Package you wanted to install but couldn't

 

So First: Open Up Your File Manager, I used Filza for this, find the package and click on the "I" ( information ) Now click Open With...

And Choose Installer

Go Back And Click On The Package and Click Install

Copy Something That Looks Like This:

dpkg -i "/var/mobile/Documents/NAME OF FILE" ;

 

Copy that Text and Go to Terminal and Type "su"

Type your password:

If you haven't used Terminal on iOS before your password will be "alpine"

Put that and now paste that code...

BOOM! You are done!

Hopefully I helped you out! :)

 

Any Problems? Leave a comment and I'll answer you ASAP!

 

Bye. ;)

Another easy fix for this seems to be a simple device reboot then try installing the deb. :)

So I followed all your steps and still encountered the same problem. After executing the command in Terminal this was the last sentence in there

I tried to respring the device and install the deb file but would not work

I’ve tried this and after pasting the code it tells me “cannot access archive '/var/mobile/Documents/NAME OF FILE': No such file or directory” do you have a solution for this? 

Edit: nvm I am stupid I figured it out and it installed, thanks!
