Pretty much a repeat of Vetsin's comment but I did "dpkg --purge", to remove it completely first.
Code:
/home/user # dpkg -l | grep useragent
/home/user # dpkg -i useragenttool_1.1.0_armel.deb
Selecting previously deselected package useragenttool.
(Reading database ... 60183 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking useragenttool (from useragenttool_1.1.0_armel.deb) ...
Setting up useragenttool (1.1.0) ...
chown: invalid option -- f
BusyBox v1.20.2 (Debian 1.20.2power5) multi-call binary.

Usage: chown [-RhLHP]... OWNER[<.|:>[GROUP]] FILE...

Change the owner and/or group of each FILE to OWNER and/or GROUP

	-R	Recurse
	-h	Affect symlinks instead of symlink targets
	-L	Traverse all symlinks to directories
	-H	Traverse symlinks on command line only
	-P	Don't traverse symlinks (default)

dpkg: error processing useragenttool (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 useragenttool
/home/user #
Why does user agent tool need to use chown, when other programmes don't?
