On another note, while I am on the subject:

They way I install server/workstation is quite different from most ways
I see published on the web on this list.

I download the .rpm:  alien --scripts *.rpm

dpkg -i vmserver-blah.rpm

In this way your package manager knows it is installed.  Newer versions
are easy to deal with, just use dpkg -i to install those and your
package is updated to the new version.  Problems?  Just use
apt/synaptic/dpkg to uninstall it.

I have never (but once during a 25 kernel IIRC) had to use the famous
any-any patch using this method.
