Hi, Joey i think a Debian package is not allowed to use nor assume external, possibly non-GPL tools outside the Debian repository. In fact, if current alien package makes use of software installable outside dpkg and the latter is not compatible with GPL, the package should be moved to "contrib", shouldn't be? I don't know if that's the point with current Sun pkg tools, but as long as the command exits with an error when using "-p" option i think it would be suitable to print a warning at least, if not to remove the "-p" option completely until a .deb for pkg tools exists in the Debian repository.
> How are these not being available in Debian a bug in alien? Because it's not a bug in alien itself, but (IMHO) a bug in the alien Debian package. regards. -- --- RAMSES [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Clave PGP en: http://pgp.rediris.es:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC8F426DA MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---
