Package: alien
Version: 8.91
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When I use alien to convert a deb to rpm package, the empty directories in the
rpm are denied by Fedora system.
Steps to reproduce the issue (just an example, I know there is pigz on Fedora
system):
1. sudo apt-get -d --reinstall install pigz
2. fakeroot alien -k --to-rpm /var/cache/apt/archives/pigz_2.3.1-1_i386.deb
3. The content of converted rpm:
/
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/pigz
/usr/bin/unpigz
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/pigz
/usr/share/doc/pigz/README
/usr/share/doc/pigz/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/pigz/copyright
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/pigz.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/unpigz.1.gz
4. Copy the rpm to Fedora 19 i386 system, then install it. I got the following
error messages:
[steven@localhost tmp]$ sudo rpm -ivh pigz-2.3.1-1.i386.rpm
Preparing... #################################

file /usr/bin from install of pigz-2.3.1-1.i386 conflicts with file
from package filesystem-3.2-10.fc19.i686
Apparently the "/" and "/usr/bin/" cause the issue.
Thanks.
Steven.
