Im Prinzip ja, aber das ist keine gute Idee. Der Debian-Paketmanager 
weiß dann nämlich nichts davon, das das Paket installiert ist, mit 
allen entsprechenden Konsequenzen.
Besser ist es das Paket mit alien in ein .deb zu verwandeln und zu 
installieren. Das ist zwar oft auch nicht so toll, weil da in 
irgendwelche komischen Verzeichnisse installiert wird ... aber immerhin 
weiß dpkg, das das Paket da ist und was dazu gehört.

Scribus / Re: RPM und Debian

2006-09-27 Thread G.Wendebourg
Leider gibt es die aktuelle Scribus-Version 1.3.3 bisher nur fuer
Windows und Suse aber nicht fuer Debian, sondern hier nur die alte 1.25,
der wesentliche Features fehlen.
Gibt es eine Chance, irgendwo ein Debian-Paket der neuen Version zu finden?

Ich weiss: man kann kompilieren.
War jedoch - da ich mich nicht als Entwickler sehe - immer mit
unabsehbarem Aufwand und Scheitern in ca. 50% der Faelle verbunden und
nach dieser Erfahrung nur ratsam, wenn man die Musse dafuer aufbringen kann.

alien -i suse-packet vllt.?

Ansonsten: apt-get source scribus und den 1.2.5er Quellcode von Scribus
(alles ausser dem Debian Verzeichnis) durch den 1.3.3er ersetzen.
Eventuelle Patches anpassen und das ganze mit dpkg-buildpackage bauen.

Ist Scribus kein autotools-Projekt? Auch wenn autotools nicht gerade
angenehm zu benutzen sind, so ist das kompilieren eines solchen
Projektes i.A. kein Problem.

Ansonsten: Kontaktiere dnenDebian und den Upstream Maintainer und frag
nach wo das Problem liegt.

Warum machst Du es nicht einfach per alien?
Dazu hat man Dir ja auch schon etwas gesagt im laufe des Threads!
Mach doch einfach in einem Terminal ein: apt-get install alien, sofern 
es nicht schon bei Dir installiert ist und dann

machst Du einfach ein alien Paketname
schon hast Du ein *.deb package das Du mit dpkg -i Paketname 
installieren kannst.

Mist, das kommt davon wenn man die Ausgabe von apt-cache search nicht
genau anschaut. Scribus 1.3.3 ist schon laengst in Debian:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/KDE-work/kdevelop.build/pics/toolbarapt-cache policy 
scribus-ng
scribus-ng:
  Installiert:(keine)
  Mögliche Pakete:1.3.3.3.dfsg-2
  Versions-Tabelle:
 1.3.3.3.dfsg-2 0
990 http://debian sid/main Packages
500 http://debian etch/main Packages

Das Paket wurde wohl umbenannt da es keine stabile Version (lt.
Upstream) darstellt.

Also einfach aptitude anwerfen

Hi M,
the first rule of DEBIAN club is to use .debs first!
so, first have you used :
apt-cache search XYZ
to see it is in your current repository list.
If not, check the debian site to see if it is in another version of
debian.
If not, ask here if a debian version exists somewhere else!
if all else fails,
use 'alien'!
 -Kev
 PS. there is also a way you can help debian. if you think this software
 is important to you, you can ask that some debian developer consider
 making a brand new .deb of this software! It may be something other
 debian users would want.

You can convert them to debs using alien command and then install the debs:

apt-get install alien
alient --to-deb *.rpm
dpkg -i *.deb

Can I use rpm command to access deb DB?
rpm is available in the Debian package of the same name (rpm). However, 
any packages you install with the rpm command will not be managed by the 
Debian package management system. .deb is the native package format of a 
Debian system.

You can attempt to convert .rpm packages to .deb packages using the 
tools available in the alien package. However, conversion will not 
always be successful and may not produce the results you expect.

It is best to install software on your Debian system from .deb packages.

If you can not locate a .deb package for the software you wish to 
install in the official Debian repositories [1], you can also try 
apt-get.org [2] for third-party apt repositories of all types or 
backports.org [3] for third-party apt repositories for the stable 
distribution only.

If you need assistance configuring your system to install software, feel 
free to consult the Debian manual [4], search the list archives [5], or 
ask here on the list.

I would advise against using mentors.debian.net unless you're a Debian

mentors archive are there because they're waiting for a Debian developer

Rogerio,

Concordo que tua sugestao eh possivel, mas para que instalar um pacote RPM no 
Debian se tu podes converte-lo ao formato .deb? Eh muito melhor utilizar a base 
propria do Debian do que criar inconsistencia no sistema mesclando .deb com 
.rpm. Instalando os .deb, mantem os mesmos padroes. Alem disto, a RedHat 
utiliza padroes diferentes de diretorios para armazenar libs e executaveis, 
instalando no /usr/local/* alguns pacotes, onde no Debian fica no /usr/*. Se eu 
nao me engano, o alien contorna este tipo de problema (nao tenho certeza se 
realmente faz isto). 

Eh so uma sugestao minha para deixar o sistema no mesmo padrao! :-)

Abracos

A deb is a Debian package file (filename ends in .deb). It contains
the program(s) you're installing, along with instructions to dpkg about
how to install it and where to install it and how to configure it and
what questions to ask of the sys admin, etc.

An RPM is a Redhat package file (filename ends in .rpm). It does
more-or-less the same for Redhat that a deb does for Debian, but not as
cleanly/well-implemented.

 - The package isn't configured for a Debian system. From past experiences,
Apache, MySQL and SAMBA headers files are not at the same place from
distribution to distribution. Although this example is unlikely to affect
bianry packages, things can get worse quite easily. Think of a few major

Installing alien packages from rpm can be dangerous if the converted rpm
contains files that are critical to the system, like libc or init. dpkg has
allow overwrite on by default and will overwrite the files provided by
debian by the ones in the rpm. As the man page says:

   Alien does not account for differences in configuration between
   different linux distributions. So don't use it to replace something
   essential like sysvinit.  You could destroy your system by doing so.
   In general, if you can't uninstall the package without breaking your
   system, don't try to replace it with an alien version.

RPM has a nice feature which might be helpful here.  
'rpm -qpl packagename.rpm' will list all the files in the package and the
directories into which they will be installed.  This is equivalent to
'dpkg -c'.

 The above script does what you want (in a limited way).
 The issue is not compatibility of the formats, but rather compatibility
 of the contained programs and their file locations.
 
 Example:
 foo.deb - keeps config file in /etc/foo.conf
 foo.rpm - keeps config file in /usr/some/other/location/foo.conf
 
 bar.deb - depends on foo.deb
   Has a post-install script that parses the information in foo.conf

Now I get the idea. It is virtually impossible for RPM support
to be implemented in a manner that would work w/o problems.

I was wondering about RPM since some people suggested that RPM
support could (will, some said) play a key role as a selection
criterion in competition among Linux distros. I wouldn't bother
about this, at least not much, but Eric S. Raymond said this, so
I looked at it again.

 Debian provides different levels of rpm support.

I am no dpkg developper, but I'll bite anyway.  The program exists and
is not called drpm, but alien.  The problems are not in reading the
package and it's dependency information, the problem is in the organisation
of the programs into packages.  For example (just an example, I don't
know if it is true), RedHat could have a package x11-clients_3.3.2.rpm,
and debian a package xbase_3.2-1.deb.  Say both contain `xterm'.  Now if
a third package needs `xterm', it will depend on x11-clients in RedHat,
and on xbase in debian.  If this is an rpm package, alien will spot that
it depends on x11-clients, but this information is near useless, since
this package does not exist in debian.  Something else that can go wrong
is file placement.  One distibution might put xterm in /usr/bin,
another one could choose /opt/x11/bin.  Programs that depend on a
certain full pathname can break because of this.  Then there may be
differences in configuration files.

Note that the problems I described are not due to differences in the
package format at all.  They can arise between Caldera and RedHat as
well, although they both use rpm.  The fact that there is only one
distribution currently using .debs actually protects you from this kind
of trouble.

Eric Meijer

In addition to the answer you've already got: I have a feeling that
your question might be caused by articles in magazines that sometimes
recommend Redhat or another RPM-based distributions because of the
ease-of-use compared to less sophisticated installation systems.

In that case you should know that Debian's native packaging
system, .deb, is at least as sophisticated as RPM and will give
you the same advantages. In fact we find deb to be a technically
superior tool.
