Public bug reported:
I performed below steps to install nmap on Ubuntu 20.04
Steps for converting Nmap RPM files to Debian/Ubuntu deb format for
installation on Debian/Ubuntu
If you don't have the alien command, install it with a command such
as sudo apt-get install alien
Download the Nmap RPMs for your platform (x86 or x86-64) from
https://nmap.org/download.html. This description will use
nmap-7.80-1.x86_64.rpm
Verify the download integrity as described in the section called
“Verifying the Integrity of Nmap Downloads”.
Generate a Debian package with a command such as sudo alien
nmap-7.80-1.x86_64.rpm
This resulted in "nmap_7.80-2_amd64.deb"
Install the Debian package with a command such as sudo dpkg
--install nmap_7.80-2_amd64.deb
But this failed.
