Not alien. dpkg -i is a start, but it might fail. If it does, use the .dsc to build new .deb. If that doesn't fail, the resulting package will most likely install. (Ultimately, there are no guarantees that Debian packages will work on Ubuntu or vice-versa, just like a random RPM might or might not work on a distribution other than the one it was built on.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
