[Tutor] Paradox database files

[Victor Bouffier]

That did the trick. Thanks Ewald.

FYI, I used the '--nodeps' directive once I realized there were really

I still needed to keep the added symlink since the px libraries couldn't 
find the libbz2.so.1.0 file.

Thanks again to all. That was great help.
