Package: alien Version: 8.95 Severity: minor When running alien against a package that has a large integer as one of the version components (e.g. a nanosecond timestamp), alien appears to convert it internally to floating point, with the result that the output filename contains exponential notation. So, for example:
``` andrewg@fred:~/Downloads$ sudo alien --scripts dremio-community-1.2.2-201710100154510864_d40e31c_1.noarch.rpm dremio-community_1.2.2-2.01710100154511e+17_all.deb generated ``` One would expect that the version number components would be copied verbatim between the input and output filenames.
