Help/Support Error Code 256; iFile

[Spaceful 5 iPhone SE 9.3.3]

I would just like to know how to fix the error code you get when installing .deb files in iFile, in my case I was trying to install a Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies hack by shmoo but run into this error code when trying to install. Error code will be pasted below! Thanks for the help!

Try Filza just in case.

Nahh I got it, I had PreferenceLoader installed but something didn't install properly so all I did was reinstall it. All the Debian files seem to install properly now.

Try downloading again, maybe your deb file has been corrupted

Uninstall **tsprotector** both/or **xCon** if also installed from cydia...uninstall one or the other and see if your issue is fixed if any issue in the future. **More to know in the future when deb.file doesn't install correctly**

Your file was corrupted, try to download it again

I'm hoping this bumps this question but I've tried reinstalling it and it's still broken. Is it safe to assume the deb file simply doesn't work anymore?
