will check as I'm working on another bug in alien ebuild anyway. hmm looks like this is more of an issue than just a simple fix. for the moment you can try app-arch/deb2targz maybe that will help you?

Add debhelper to the tree for allowing rpm2deb convertion 2. remove this support from alien but, in this case, I think that alien could be dropped from the tree because we already have rpm2targz and deb2targz for this purpose hmm good point but what about rpm <-> deb (doubt many gentoo users will be interested but still ..) fyi.. i haven't forgotten, just was too busy with real life to worry about debhelper ;) i think i'll try to add debhelper and if that works ok we keep alien otherwise i'll probably consider removing it..

Question is do we really still need this in portage if so I'd like to see arguments why (please read comments below first..) Since today Portage has an ebuild for debhelper in dev-util category, *debhelper-6.0.11 (09 Apr 2008) 09 Apr 2008; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> +metadata.xml, +debhelper-6.0.11.ebuild: Initial ebuild by me. + 04 Feb 2009; Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> +alien-8.72.ebuild: + Bump to 8.72, fixes #213596, dep added for #178476 Please reopen if this doesn't fix it. I now get a diffent error: # alien BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 error: incorrect format: unknown tag warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 warning: BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284 Unpacking of 'BitTorrent-4.0.4-64.39.x86_64.rpm' failed at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 155.
