[Fwd: Re: Installing rpm package in Ubuntu 6.06]

[Aron Lopes Petrucci]

It almost works...

I used: 
root at persa-linux:/home/Software/Lazarus# sudo alien -c
lazarus-0.9.16-0.i386.rpm

and the post was:

lazarus_0.9.16-1_i386.deb generated

Then, every files are disabled in synaptic.

I tried:

root at persa-linux:/home/Software/Lazarus# apt-get -s install
lazarus_0.9.16-1_i386.deb

the post was: (free translation below)

Lendo Lista de Pacotes... Pronto              
---- reading package list... ready
Construindo Árvore de Dependências... Pronto     
---- building dependency tree ... ready
E: Impossível achar pacote lazarus_0.9.16-1_i386.deb   
---- its's impossible to find package lazarus_0.9....

How!?? The package is there. I can see, copy, move and open it with a
decompress software.

Thank you very for your attention.
