Package: alien Version: 8.81 Severity: normal Lenny's alien correctly does this:
fiori$ alien -r mondsk_3.1.3-1_all.deb Warning: alien is not running as root! Warning: Ownerships of files in the generated packages will probably be wrong. mondsk-3.1.3-2.noarch.rpm generated fiori$ echo $? 0 fiori$ dpkg -l alien | grep alien ii alien 8.72 convert and install rpm and other packages fiori$ But Squeeze's alien does this: torchio$ alien -r mondsk_3.1.3-1_all.deb Warning: alien is not running as root! Warning: Ownerships of files in the generated packages will probably be wrong. mondsk-3.1.3-2.noarch.rpm generated find: `mondsk-3.1.3': No such file or directory <------- ??? torchio$ echo $? 0 torchio$ dpkg -l alien | grep alien ii alien 8.81 convert and install rpm and other packages torchio$ Obviously I can't trust that that rpm has been built correctly. (If it helps: the deb was built on Squeeze and is available for download from http://dione.no-ip.org/AlexisWiki/MonDsk?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=mondsk_3.1.3-1_all.deb) Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
