Indeed. I should have said that I did that, and then encountered the following issue: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ sudo dpkg -i foo-package.deb dpkg: error: unable to access the dpkg database directory /gnu/store/902w5i1j38r33l6p871dyhng19zj1phk-dpkg-1.20.9/var/lib/dpkg: Read-only file system --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Any ideas? I don't know much about .deb or .rpm. Thank you Gary. -- André A. Gomes "Free Thought, Free World"
