I created a deb update package using the instructions provided in 🙂 [Deb packages](https://hub.mender.io/t/deb-packages/326)
However, when I attempted to deploy this to my device it failed with the following log:
2025-02-27 14:57:33.211 +0000 UTC info: Running Mender client 4.0.2

What is the correct process for creating a deb update package?

Hi @keithrobinson67,
The process should be correct. So you have created the `deb`-artifact as described in [Deb packages](https://hub.mender.io/t/deb-packages/326#p-1018-create-mender-artifacts-8), then uploaded it to Hosted Mender and initiated the deployment from there?

I followed the procedure exactly. Here is the type-info contents inside the package:
