Hi list This is what i hate most. I want to install a driver that i can only find in rpm (I'm using debian) I installed alien I can't install the driver as it requires a later version of rpm I can only find a deb version of the later rpm in testing so download the deb package I need about a billion dependent packages, so download I try to dpkg -i them all I get stuck on installing libdb3 as it conflicts with libdb2 I can't remove libdb2 because loads of stuff depends on it. grrrrrrr, Perhaps there is a one-line two-word command someone can help me with that will cure my woes? I'm sure i'm doing this the hard way. Thanks, Jenny.
