That command is incorrect. It needs to be like this.
```auto
sudo dpkg -i graylog-4.3-repository_latest.deb
```

hey,
I just tested the documentation [here](https://docs.graylog.org/v1/docs/debian) out to ensure it was working. Using Ubuntu 20.0.4
I executed both of these.
```auto
root # wget https://packages.graylog2.org/repo/packages/graylog-4.3-repository_latest.deb
root # sudo dpkg -i graylog-4.3-repository_latest.deb
```
results:
I would double check your commands, perhaps some log files may help.

hey,
Linux I would look in `/var/log` directory. Probably in _dpkg_ file.
As for this error…
```auto
error: 'graylog-4.3-repository_latest.deb' is not a debian format archive
```
I would clean my repo up and try to download it again.
EDIT: did some googling and 90% of the error “ **is not a debian format archive** ” either has to do with the network and the package got corrupt OR the **naming convention** of the package.
Like I menetion above try clean your repo and re-download the package again OR rename the package without using `"-"`
Example:
```auto
root # cp graylog-4.3-repository_latest.deb graylog_4.3_repository_latest.deb
```
As for Graylog repo I don’t see anything wrong.

well I don’t see what is different today, but it all appears to be working. Thank you for the assistance!
