applix 4.3 install question

[tjferrell@infoave.net]

I am installing applix 4.3 and have hit a snag. I converted the
rpms from the CD to debian packages using alien which resulted in:

applix-books-english_4.3-2_i386.deb
applix-clipart_4.3-2_i386.deb
applix-english_4.3-2_i386.deb
applix-libs_4.3-2_i386.deb
applix_4.3-2__i386.deb

I made /opt a symlink to /home/opt and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/applix a
symlink to /home/opt/applix (due to disk space considerations) and then 
installed the debs using dpkg -i *.deb. This all went fine.

Here's the catch... when I try to run applix I get an error saying that
there aren't any languages installed. I assume there is some kind of
postinstall script in the rpms that was lost in the conversion -
anybody know what will fix this?

Thanks!
Tim
