Natively, noy directly :( If you used dpkg-cross, you can install from Debian GNU/Linux by cd /gnu ./dpkg-cross -i *deb > If I can't use the package management tools on hurd, what do I do to list > the files inside the package (on Linux) so that I know what to fix > manually? You can extract the content of a package from Debian GNU/Linux with dpkg-deb -x *deb /path/to/where/extract Or you can use ar/tar to extract manually. A deb is just an ar achive file which contains several tar.gz files. The data is in data.tar.gz If you have problems, let me know and I will put up a tar with the files somewhere. I am now uploading a fixed package, which will appear in http://incoming.debian.org, so you can also upgrade if you want. I tested it this time. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
