I am learning now as follows: -- start all install searches from the forge: http://forge.fusioninventory.org/projects/fusioninventory-agent/wiki/Platforms_tested
-- always check the fusioninventory cpan website: http://search.cpan.org/~fusinv/ Looking at the forge, I see now that I could have picked up the debian packages of fusioninventory-agent 2.2.7 as well as fusioninventory-esx 2.2.1 .. the squeeze-backports versions are way behind, and the versions of both packages are not always compatible with each other ..
