Public bug reported: When generating a build tree with "alien -g package.rpm" a subdir called "debian/" is created. When trying to build this package with "dpkg -b package" dpkg is looking for a "DEBIAN/" subdir. When creating a symlink "ln -s debian/ DEBIAN" dpkg worked.
I guess alien should create a uppercase directory "DEBIAN" for holding the control files. ** Affects: alien (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877218 Title: alien creates "debian/" instead of "DEBIAN/" directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alien/+bug/877218/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
