I want to convert iscan rpm (an Epson scanner driver) to a deb. This driver only works on i386 systems. I have installed multiarch on my system but it seems that there is no alien that can do the job on my system. Alternatively, I have an old deb of this package but dpkg complains there is a duplicate 'Architecture' line in the control file. Using mc I could copy the control file from the package to /tmp/ and edit it, but I could not put it back. How can I correct the control file in the debian package? Regards Johann
Since Hugo gave explanations that I think should work (I would otherwise have gave you the advice to simply uncompress all stuff in a folder, fix the file, and then to use dpkg-deb to rebuild the package...) I will simply give you some hint about what to search for the conversion of a rmp package into a deb one:
