Salut Tobi,

yes, it is made for dpkg.
For the package manager and its knowledge, that is what I guess too.
More over, I forced it, and got a blocked dpkg,  due to the unresolved
dependencies.

So I think about to write my own 'user responsible' installer, like
gambas2 made with user written components. 

Thanks anyway.
