Hi,

In order to get the file "libwma.so" , I have to get it out of an rpm archive.

I read something about rpm2cpio, but could not find it in DSL.

Any ideas?

I think some extraction apps could do the job such as "p7zip" if you can't find the rpm utils.  There's also alien to convert rpm -> deb

And there's some more info in a forum search.

Also converts to tgz, which worked for me when conversion to deb did not.  

Alien installs with apt-get.
