"bad interpreter: Permission denied" may be caused by corrupted executable. So make sure that your /bin/sh is valid and then try to execute "/bin/sh" manually from command line.

Hi

Copy it to HD and then change the permission to make it execultable
chmod 755 "package"

then do
sh package

Cheers

str you speaking about debian package or some other format?

Actually, this sounds more like the package is trying to run something, and the script which is running has a #! pointing to a binary which doesn't exist.

What's the package, so we can take it apart and tell you what it needs.

L.S.

create a symbolic link from /bin/bash to /bin/sh may solve your problem.

Another common problem: the script to be executed is in DOS format (check using vim).
