If you use rpm to install things, then the debian package management system will not know anything about it. And rpm doesn't know anything about the debian package management system. So they are very likely to overwrite eachother's files.... Instead: how didn't alien "quite work" for you? Error messages, etc? Once you get alien to convert the rpm to a proper package, then the rest should be easy... -- Karl E.
