rpm is trying to mkdir /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES, of course this fails if
/usr/src/rpm does not exist. It's dumb code and a bad error message.

Dear People,
I recently tried to install a source rpm (as root) on a Debian
system. I got
laplace:/home/faheem# rpm -Uvh plugger-4.0-17.src.rpm
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES
But this works on my home computer
Chrestomanci:/home/faheem# rpm -Uvh plugger-4.0-6.src.rpm

Dear People,
In case anyone is wondering, I am trying to install the src rpm in order
to compile it, an operation I had earlier successfully done on my home
computer.
I am no RPM expert but anytime I wanted to compile a source rpm I did
rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm

Hello all,
Is there a way to extract source rpm's on a debian box?
If so please could you state how?
Thanks.

apt-get install rpm cpio

It's naive to assume
First install package rpm (by apt, dpkg, dselect, deity, whatever)
Then rpm -bp just as if you were running RootHat. In fact, Debian's RPM
is simply RootHat's with a few cosmetic changes.
