Package: alien
Version: 8.56
Severity: normal
Hello Joey,
I build with success a rpm pkg from it's sources.
As I did with success on i386 (with same srpm), I would like to debianize it
to install it on my unstable debian hppa.
Unfortunately, it failed as follow:
# alien -d RPMS/parisc/eqnx-4.09g-2.parisc.rpm
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package eqnx: postinst prerm
Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
Package build failed. Here's the log:
dh_testdir

dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture hppa does not appear in
package's list (parisc)
dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
find: eqnx-4.09g: No such file or directory
Apparently because alien didn't know that it would have to change 'parisc' to
debian 'hppa'?
But I haven't any clue where to look for to help more ;-(
Thanks in advance,
Joel
