operation not permitted and GNOME?

[Jayson Baird <jaysonsb@concentric.net>]

I am logged in as root, I type alien -i <package>.rpm
it runs it's thing, but when it gets to cpio it says operation not permitted.
Either help with this or point in the direction of all the gnome Debian
packages..either would be great :) thanks
