Hi Kamaraju and Paul,

I got the rpm from http://rpmfind.rediris.es/rpm2html/fedora-os-i386/expect-5.39.0-93.i386.html and did a alien --to-deb

Now If I install this deb file, I am getting the following error, Could someone tell me what to do.

rajulocal@kusumanchi:/home/software/expect$ sudo dpkg --install expect_5.39.0-94_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package expect.
