How did you manage to convert the deb to rpm? I tried alien, but it get the following message: > alien -f bidi-openoffice.org_1.0.0-4_i386.deb Control file couldn't be read! at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Alien/Package/Deb.pm line 161.
I am using Mandrake 8.2, and I got this message both from the alien package that comes with the system and from the latest version that I've installed by myself (version 8.07). where did I go wrong? thanks, Itai.
