I think you are confusing a packaging format with your program. You

But it is packaged into a distribution format. It can be packaged

Thank you for your help,I should check the alien manual in detail first.
ll these rpm packages(from redhat)
Once you have done that, the system is no longer really Debian, so I
don't see the point. Figure out what Debian packages it depends on
instead.

A very bad idea. RPM is only there so that alien can use it.
Are you absolutely certain that the software you want to install is not
available in a .deb?

Caveat: I have been warned that .rpm packages are not reviewed as
carefully as .deb packages, so you run a risk to your system by
installing them. Apparently the risk, thoug
yes you can do that, with a tool called alien and perhaps some other things as
well.

Take a look at the 'alien' package to do this. Its listed in dselect.
I just used the RedHat 6.0 SRPMs for Pine 4.10 on my Debian 2.1 systems
without difficulty. Note these are source RPMs and not the binaries.

Thanks, I did the partial upgrade. Compiling seemed to work OK,
except that the configure doesn't set up the Makfiles to compile
xscanimage. I did also upgrade the xlibs.
