.deb file is not opening after install

See original GitHub issue

I am using electron-installer-debian - v1.1.1, node - v11.8.0, npm - 6.9.0, ubuntu- 18.04

Creating my build like:

npm run electron-packager . app --platform linux --arch x64 --out dist/
npm run electron-installer-debian --src dist/app-linux-x64/ --dest dist/installers/ --arch amd64

In my dist folder package is getting created with the name “app_0.0.0_amd64.deb” and it is installed successfully but it is not getting open and showing the size of 0 bytes also.

This actually worked for me, was such a long struggle, would be nice if the installer set the permissions right
