Thanks for inspiring me. My system is Ubuntu based so first I had to google for converting RPM to deb and I found Alien. So I run alien and it runs successfuly (I think). But no lightning bolt anywhere to be seen! Any ideas what I did wrong? bmike1@Michaels-Presario ~/Programs/Jupiter $ sudo alien -i * warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package jupiter: postinst Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts. warning: jupiter-0.0.51-3.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 069c119e: NOKEY dpkg --no-force-overwrite -i jupiter_0.0.51-4_all.deb Selecting previously deselected package jupiter.
