Tutorial How to Stop "dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege" iOS

[StayBlueYT 7 8]

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’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!
