I find it's useful to look at error messages. It often tells you what is |
| 10 |
wrong: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
dpkg: error processing nerolinux-3.5.0.1-x86.deb (--install): |
| 13 |
package architecture (i386) does not match system () |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
dpkg does nto want ot install that .deb on your system as the arch is wrong. |
| 16 |
It makes sense, it wouldn't install sparc binaries either. Gentoo doesn't have |
| 17 |
an i386 arch, it has x86 and amd64. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
But I still feel your whole approach is wrong. Two package managers on one |
| 20 |
system? Therein lies madness, and file collisions that will leave you |
| 21 |
scratching your head wondering wtf? |

The solution is simple: |

alien |

|
| 27 |
I know it doesn't do the whole pre- and post- install thing right, but that |
| 28 |
doesn't matter as they probably aren't suitable on gentoo anyway. You want the |
| 29 |
binaries and a way to extract them. |
