Actually, the full text message of the error is: alien: 822-date did not return a valid result. You probably need to intall the dpkg-dev debian package. So, the obvious question(s) is(are): Did you install the dpkg-dev package? What happens when you type "822-date"? What is the result of "which 822-date"? -Mitch
