Hi,
I'm hoping to convert an rpm package to a deb using alien in an automated
process on a redhat machine. I've installed alien (8.43), dpkg (1.10.18) and
debhelper (4.1.89) on the redhat machine from source.
The issue I'm having is that the converted packages lose the dependencies that

I'm very impressed with the 'alien' package (apt-get install alien). A couple
people who suggested that I try it told me that it isn't entirely reliable, but
so far I'v

Hi all,
I got tired of downloading so I went to my RedHat CD and converted Netscape
to a Debian package with Alien. The conversion was a success. Question is
that when your convert a package is there a way to find the dependencies

According to the announcement for Debian 1.3 at the Debian web site,
dpkg can now be used to install RPM files (at least that's how I read it).
I upgraded to 1.3, but I don't see anything about this in the dpkg docs or
man page. I tried it on an rpm file ( dpkg -i something.rpm) but it di
