I would like to install the Smolt client [see 1,2,3]  (*Hardware profiler*)
in Ubuntu 9.04, and tried to install it with rpm command  *(after installing
[rpm] and [yum] packages in Ubuntu)*, but am getting a number of dependency
errors, as follows -

$ rpm -ivh smolt-1.4-3.9.noarch.rpm

Is there a Smolts package available for Debian/Ubuntu ?
Advantage being that hardware info gets updated through a unique UUID to a
central database [3].

Thanks,
