Package: alien Version: 8.64 As reported in the LSB bug tracker (http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1638):
"Installing RPM using the command 'alien -ick <file>.rpm' seems not to work well -- it doesn't execute pre- and post- scripts from the .rpm file. "Converting a .rpm file to .deb and then installing the last via dpkg works more correctly, at least all the scripts run." It seems, from analysis of the code, that this is the expected behavior, but it was certainly unexpected from our point of view. At minimum, this difference between install mode and non-install mode should be documented. On the other hand, if the intent is for "alien -ic" to work the same way as "alien -c && dpkg -i", that doesn't seem to be what's happening. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
