MJPG_Streamer Install Problem on Linux Mint 11 or Ubuntu 11.04

MJPG-streamer takes JPGs from Linux-UVC compatible webcams, filesystem or other input plugins and streams them as M-JPEG via HTTP to webbrowsers, VLC and other software. It is the successor of uvc-streamer, a Linux-UVC streaming application with Pan/Tilt.

The problem is the description of the package version does not comply with the "Center of applications." To solve it we need to rebuild the package.

This is the error you get when running from the command line:

dpkg: error processing mjpg-streamer_r94-1_i386.deb (--install):
parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 7 package 'mjpg-streamer':
error in Version string 'r94-1': version number does not start with digit
Errors were encountered while processing:
