Indeed. I should have said that I did that, and then encountered the
following issue:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo dpkg -i foo-package.deb
dpkg: error: unable to access the dpkg database directory /gnu/store/902w5i1j38r33l6p871dyhng19zj1phk-dpkg-1.20.9/var/lib/dpkg: Read-only file system
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Any ideas? I don't know much about .deb or .rpm.
Thank you Gary.
