A friend made an rpm of software he wrote. I get an error when I try to convert it to .deb format:
$ alien --noinstall --auto ../gri-2.1.17-1.i386.rpm [lots of successful stuff deleted, and then] dpkg-gencontrol: failure: chown new files list file: Illegal seek make: *** [binary-arch] Error 29 Package build failed. This was starting from the binaries he made. I get the same error when I start from his sources and run `deb-make' and `build' (after editing the debian/ files). Does anyone know what this error means? -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
