I was having similar problems when I was playing with KDE alien wouldn't work and in fact I couldn't even install a Debian package without it telling me that the gzip package unexpectedly ended. But if I tried it on a console or in an xterm from Afterstep it worked fine. There is definately something weird going on.

(I mean: not an xterm nor Midnight Commander prompt) I got the same error running dpkg-gencontrol from debian "build", when I was recompiling debian sorce packages. The reason was that I was running build from xterm or Midnight Commander. May be there is the same problem?

alien problem (bo)
Howdy... Awhile back, I bought RedHat Motif when I thought that I'd be running their distribution. Well, I discovered that I liked Debian better and that alien, as shipped with Debian 1.2 would install the motif RPMs. I've since upgraded my installation by hand to 1.3 (without using deselect) and now alien seems unable to install the RPMs. I get the same error when trying to install other RPMs or .tar.gz's. Any ideas on why what formerly worked is now breaking would be most appreciated.
