The bold bits for user interaction were very helpful. The instructions worked out for me on 10.04. I first did a 'which dpkg' and a 'which rpm' to see if the update.sh would have a conflict, and since rpm wasn't found the script just worked without any modification.

It even corrects for common mis-spellings. Actually Google will return the same results whether you searched for “colour” or “color”, so there’s no need to include both spellings.
