But it does not and so I can't.) Would you be interested in making some alien diffs available so alien could learn how to deal with this particular set of rpms? I have seen a lot of questions by users trying to get them installed on debian lately. /usr/share/doc/alien/gendiff.txt describes the procedure. The diffs include patches to the alien-generated debian/rules file, so you can move the directories in the rpm into the proper locations. I would be very likely to add such a thing to alien if it were submitted. -- see shy jo
