Have to go a bit to off topic, but above you see an one example why deb-package system is inferior to rpm-based system. If that would be a rpm package, doing wget and rpm -i (dpkg -i) would not be a security risk. You guys do realize there is no authenticity check when installing a package that way and it is vulnerable to MITM-attack?

Sleepanalyzer keeps coming up once a day to my N900's notify field but it always fails to upgrade.
Doing manually "apt-get upgrade", it says "Size mismatch".
I guess I need to try the above unsafe operation also.
