vrms is specifically written for debian. It is basically a single perl script which uses dpkg to get the installed packages information. Further it uses a list of blacklisted package names(debian specific names) in an accompanying file. In short, the package vrms as such cannot be installed in a non-debian(derivative) distros _trivially_. If you want to port, do: git clone https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/vrms/vrms.git Another alternative is maybe, to make the target distro dpkg based - But that is too much for installing just one package ! > -- > Arun S.A.G > http://zer0c00l.in/ > _______________________________________________ > ILUGC Mailing List: > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > -- Regards, Dennis _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
