downloaded DiapDealer's package, extracted it with "ar -xv Sigil_from_diapDealer.deb", unpacked data.tar.gz into /home/schwartze/opt/sigil-portable/ and wrote a shellscript to launch the executable at /home/schwartze/opt/sigil-portable/sigil/sigil. I'm running it portably, as I don't have root access here.
