I have recently downloaded a mirror of Hamm, but some of the packages
appear to be broken. The following command:
$ find . -name *.deb -exec dpkg -I "{}" ';' | grep 'not a debian'
results in (slightly edited):

Hi,
You should probably subscribe to debian-admintool. There was a

for Caldera's tool COAS (I think) and see if that could be
