Thanks Dmitrij!!

I really appreciate it.

On the other side, I wonder what has made Fedora decide that "Alien"
was not worth including as a standard package with the distro?. After
all it doesn´t mean supporting that other devil package format ;-) but
actually making life _easier_ for Fedora users that sometimes might
stumble upon some piece of software only delivered as a .deb ...

Just thinking aloud.

Again, thanks!
