Hi @Manuestaire thanks for the report.

You're using a Debian based OS and for some unusal reason it looks as though you have rpm installed.

If you navigate to the package settings, you can manually specify that you want to install the Debian package version.

I'm going to close the issue but feel free to reopen if your problem persists.

Thank you, that solved the issue

(btw I hope this response doesn't reopen the issue :S)

To prevent others encountering this issue, I've made some changes to the way in which the OS (and therefore primary package manager) is detected - #20.
