Revenge of the Titans Workaround

If you haven’t already, you should check out the Humble Indie Bundle #2. If you have, and are running a Debian-based Linux, you may have run into the following problem:

jeff@metzger ~/Downloads> sudo dpkg -i RevengeOfTheTitans-HIB-i386.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package revenge-of-the-titans.
(Reading database ... 207859 files and directories currently installed.)

Errors were encountered while processing:
 RevengeOfTheTitans-HIB-i386.deb

If so, I have found this workaround helpful:

ar x RevengeOfTheTitans-HIB-i386.deb
tar xf data.tar.gz
rm data.tar.gz
tar cfz data.tar.gz usr/ opt/
cp RevengeOfTheTitans-HIB-i386.deb RevengeOfTheTitans-HIB-i386-fixed.deb
ar r RevengeOfTheTitans-HIB-i386-fixed.deb data.tar.gz

It should go without saying that this workaround is not thoroughly tested and may eat your computer.
