OS: Linux Ubuntu 10.04

I downloaded the .deb file but it failed to install; here are the error messages:

Unpacking iron (from .../*/**/iron.deb) ...
dpkg-deb: file `/media/*/**/iron.deb' contains ununderstood data member data.tar.xz , giving up
dpkg: error processing /media/*/**/iron.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/media/*/**/iron.deb

The '*' characters are my addition.
I know my Ubuntu version is old, but it still works for a lot of things and I have no need of updating it just yet.
Could you possibly adapt the .deb file so that is compatible with older systems like mine, please?

No, but you could install it manually via the .tar.gz file
Install dir= /usr/share/iron

I tried...; after I downloaded 'iron-linux.tar.gz' and had it unpacked, I came across the 'README.txt' file, which informed me that:

"You can launch Iron from terminal if you do not want to install it.

cd [Insert your directory here...]
./iron

Also checkout the Iron Config & BackupTool:
cd [Insert your directory here...]
./IronConfigBackup"

Alas, having done just that [for expediency], I got the following error message:

"./iron: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./iron)"

Since my distribution of Ubuntu is no longer supported, I doubt I will be able to obtain the required library.
It is most a pity...
