Trying to convert directly I got the above.So I converted the above file to MySQL-server-5.0.18.tgz and then from .tgz to mysql-server_5.0.18-2_all.deb. All seemed to work well and because the rpm is of binaries structured according their placement in the file system,at first sight I donĀ“t see here any futur concern but I have not installed so far. Any opinion about potential problems with this kind of method? I used alien-8.60 the latest in Debian testing.
