VSCode 1.17 upgrade: "The package is of bad quality" #35638

@dfarley1

Description

@dfarley1
  • VSCode Version: 1.17
  • OS Version: Linux x64 4.10.0-35-generic

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Download the linux64 .deb package from the official website.
  2. Open it in the Ubuntu Software Center.
  3. Click "Upgrade"

Trying to update from VSCode 1.16 to 1.17 gives me the following error message:

The installation of a package which violates the quality standards isn't allowed. 
This could cause serious problems on your computer. 
Please contact the person or organisation who provided this package file and include 
the details beneath.

Lintian check results for /home/daniel/Downloads/code_1.17.0-1507160143_amd64 (1).deb:
E: code: forbidden-postrm-interpreter #!/usr/bin/env

I've installed and updated VSCode using this method several times in the past without issue. I've tried re-downloading the package and rebooting as well.
