Converting .rpm to .deb using alien












0















I am trying to convert .rpm to .deb using alien command:



sudo alien <name of package>.rpm


But it's just create a directory that has the same name but never get .deb to install it



There is no errors while converting it



How could I get .deb?

alien should default to using the --to-deb argument, according to the man page, but to be safe, try specifying it explicitly. According to the Debian wiki:



sudo alien --to-deb /path/to/file.rpm
