Yes that helped with mplayer, but there are many rpm's in the world.
I suppose alien works, and I'm doing som thing wrong.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my original message:
I'm trying to convert rpms to debs without luck
input:
'alien -d mplayer-1.0pre6-1.i386.rpm'
error output:
chown: can not change ownerhisp , operation not permitted
(I get loooooooooooooooots of this reffering to different
directories, spessialy /usr/share/*)
Use of uninitialized value in die at
/usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Deb.pm line 488.
Package build failed. Here's the log:
find: mplayer-1.0pre6: Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog


My guess is that you'll need to be root to do that.

fakeroot also works.
