Package: alien
Version: 8.83
Severity: normal
Converting the .tar.gz works fine:
$ fakeroot alien SynologyAssistant-3.1-1593.tar.gz
synologyassistant_3.1-2_all.deb generated
But the conversion fails if a patch file is included. For
illustration purposes in the following I just create an empty patch
file with a name that causes alien to pick it up and apply it.
# :> /var/lib/alien/synologyassistant_3.1.diff
# gzip /var/lib/alien/synologyassistant_3.1.diff
# ls -l /var/lib/alien/synologyassistant_3.1.diff.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47 2011-07-03 11:10
/var/lib/alien/synologyassistant_3.1.diff.gz
# exit

Patch files have to contain a complete debianization of the package.
It's an unused mechanism anyway, basically.
