Marco,
thank you very much for your reply, I  have followed your instructions 
but I  not see the package, I see files:

If I download locally other packages from default repositories I see 
packages listed correctly, only in this case I don't see the package but 
that strange entries :-?


If this is not possible, I continue to use it from the /foo/usr/bin 
path, no problem :-)
Ciao
Sandro
