Due to licensing issue, PINE is only available as source package.  See
below.

I think RPM is available in potato but it is old version.  If I remember
correctly, due to some libtrary usage (DB3), latest RPM can not easily
installed on potato.  Woody comes with latest RPM, AFAIK.  Oh, it is not
a part of base install, you need to add it through dselect.

For pine, read "Debian FAQ" or "Debian reference" linked from

   http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp

for more detail.

You need to do few things
1. add deb-src to your sources.list
2. Decide which version of pine to install (especially for potato)
3. apt-get source pine or something similar
4. compile and build local package
5.  Instasll.
