Hi, everyone-- I'm experiencing two difficulties with using Alien-6.38 to convert *.ppc.rpm to *.deb packages on my PB3400:
(1) alien fails on launch with a missing perl GetoptLong error I solved this myself by retrieving the GetoptLong-2.19 module from CPAN and installing it. I assume this means GetoptLang is missing from perl-base? (2) an alien ppc.rpm->.deb conversion fails at the following message: dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture powerpc does not appear in package's list (ppc) dh_gencontrol: command returned error code make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 alien: Package build failed. I can't find where the current build architecture is being declared 'powerpc' so I can change it to match the RPM's 'ppc' architecture. Can someone suggest a workable solution? Thanks. Mike
