At this time i do not know the cause of the error too.

At this time i can tell you that it works on a server on my left and
some more computer arround and i don't have anytrouble with it at this
time.

Why don't you have just make :: dpkg -i on the 3 files i provides??
(headers image source)?

http://www.fscorsica.org/lkos-en.html get the lkos for gnewsense.
