| I was trying to upgrade from 2.180 to 2.227 on Ubuntu 12.04. The following error was output by the installer:
dpkg-deb: error: archive 'jenkins_2.227_all.deb' contains not understood data member control.tar.xz, giving up
It appears, perhaps, that at some point between build 180 and 227 the jenkins build script started using a new compression format for the deb packages that older versions of apt-get/dpkg don't support? Do you know which version this started in? And is this something that was intentional, and there fore is not going to be fixed? I didn't see anywhere in the release notes anything saying support was deprecated for any ubuntu versions. apt-get install pulled down version 227, so presumably it was intended to work on 12.04? Here's my environment specifics:
