Hmm, then I would try to unpack the package manually and find out what
library is missing (if any). After all the readme file mentions the
ancient Ubuntu version 8.04. Perhaps the problem is only that the
autopackage system (which seems to be abandoned) doesn't run on your
current Ubuntu system or it expects a specific file which doesn't exist
on your machine.
The package is a bash script which would unpack itself and download the
autopackage files needed to install the files on your system. But the
program would also run from your home directory. To unpack it manually
you can use the command
tail --bytes=1169788 LaCie\ Network\ Assistant\ 1.1\ Linux.package |
lzma -d | tar x
Then you get the executable in the bin subdirectory and with the command
ldd bin/LaCie_Network_Assistant
you can see the libraries used. If there is a memory address mentioned
at the end of each line, it should work. At least on my Kubuntu 12.04
machine all needed libraries were already installed and I can start the
application with the command
bin/LaCie_Network_Assistant
If it doesn't work for you, please post the output of the ldd command
and we can surely help you further.
