this is a workaround indeed, i once used it succesfully for another
program (mailwasher).
But why are there so many programs made for a whole list of distros, while
in case yours is not in the list, one still can adjust an (e.g.) rpm to
run in Ubuntu?
I mean, there should be a slight difference, or not? If not, then the
distributor could have made versions for all kinds of linuxes..... :-)
