Oh, there is something important you need to know, when you do download and install that .deb 'deity' is the main executable, on the first run it will fail and tell you it couldn't open the cache. What you should do is: cd /tmp dpkg-cache add cache /var/lib/dpkg/avaible:hamm:1.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status:status:1.0 deity That will give it the info it needs. Jason
