I need to extract JUST ONE of the files in a .deb
I've searched through the dpkg info and man pages and haven't found any
way to do this (I might be blind, though). Is there anyway to do it with
out doing
dpkg -R /tmp/ file.deb
and then moving the one file and clearing /tmp?

Nevermind. I used "dpkg --force-depends -i staroffice3_3.1-3.deb" and
could install it. I think this is a bug, though.

I can't say debian is "posix conformant". However, I have been

is as good as any of those. When it comes to supporting old standards
