I first tried installing using RPM after getting the RPM package.  It 
fails:

user at machine:~$ sudo rpm -i te_agent.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        /bin/sh is needed by TWeagent-7.1-0.i386

Then I tried using alien:

user at machine:~$ sudo alien --to-deb --scripts te_agent.rpm
Package build failed. Here's the log:

so (its RPATH is '').
Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not 
have any shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512
make: [binary-arch] Error 1 (ignored)
dh_gencontrol

dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
find: TWeagent-7.1: No such file or directory

I could attempt to sort this out, but would probably end up with an 
unsupported configuration.  Added to this that the installer for TE is a 
.bin file, which seems to run some other program for the initial 
install, with specific parameters etc.

Thanks.
Andrew.
