jojoax: No piece of software is perfect - neither is alien. It is a known bug of
alien <= 8.50 to not convert all rpms correctly. OOo-folks provided a patch that
was integrated in 8.51. So use alien 8.51 or newer and it should work. Yes, I
really write that debian ships packages with bugs. Even when they are marked as
"stable". And that alien fails is not a OOo-Problem. It is an alien problem.
For everything else, this simple one-liner will extract all the files from the
rpms. Just move the tree to a location of your liking.
for i in *.rpm ; do rpm2cpio $i |cpio -id ; done
To all:
And better inform yourself before writting such lame flames.
There *is* a binary version of rpm in tar.gz. You don't need to bootstrap rpm,
You don't even need to install rpm. You don't have to actually use rpm.
ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.1.x/rpm-4.1.i386.tar.gz
And what is that "my systems are running since 5 to 10 years argument"? You
should have gathered enough experience in those years to repackage software
bundled as RPM. Either bypass rpm's dependancies (OOo has no external
dependancies expect basically glibc, sh and other basic stuff without you box
wouldn't run anyway) or convert it to another format.
OOo's rpms are relocatable.
Enough people have had prolems with the old installer. Enough to never bring it
back.
Furthermore: Virtually every distro out there has OOo in its repository. SuSE,
RedHat, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, ...
If you fail to install the ones from OOo - just use the ones from your distro.
I suggest closing wontfix.
