It sounds like "dpkg" disagrees with you ;-)

You can check whether Debian believes the package to be installed
using:

	dpkg --list '*mni*'

The error you quoted means that mni_autoreg is not installed as far as

The .tar.gz file is not a debian package and won't satisfy "dpkg".
It sounds like you need to fix whatever errors prevented you
from installing the .deb.
