i downloaded navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb.gz from gerrit's blog, gunzipped it and tried to install with dpkg -i navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb
i got this error:
/media/mmc2 # dpkg -i navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb
dpkg-deb: `navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb
ls -l output:

-rw-r--r-- 1 user root 2918400 Feb 4 06:39 navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb
any help?

EDIT it seems to me that navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb.gz is a tar.gz file, i can extract its contents with tar xvf navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb.gz. i would prefer treat it as a package, how do i convert it?
