Package: alien Version: 8.51 Severity: normal While converting a debian package to rpm I found that alien doesn't add the %post section to the rpm specfile if the .deb has a postinst script.
It seems that function "postinst" in /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Deb.pm conflicts in some way with the variable $this->postinst. I tried to remove the function "postint" and this seems to fix this specific problem but I don't know what other effects this may cause. You can reproduce the bug on a debian package containing postinst and prerm scripts with the following command: fakeroot alien -r -k -c -g at_3.1.8-11_i386.deb -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8.1-5-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=it_IT Versions of packages alien depends on: ii cpio 2.5-1.1ubuntu0.1 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii debhelper 4.2.11ubuntu2 helper programs for debian/rules ii dpkg-dev 1.10.22ubuntu2 Package building tools for Debian ii make 3.80-8 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.4-2ubuntu0.4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii rpm 4.0.4-28ubuntu2 Red Hat package manager -- no debconf information -- Massimo Dal Zotto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
