iphitus Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I am pretty sure Alien is available on other distros too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 If you have that many packages, you are almost for sure to have problems and clashes and compatibility problems. Use the mandrake packages instead, because I know Debian does have a few big differences in how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 (edited) 8 out of 10 times I used alien in deb the converted pkgs didn't work. I didn't expect them to. The differences between the distros pkgs are too great. Edited August 8, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luizmdk Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I learned to use the Alien and I tried to convert the following packages: w32codecs_1%3a0.92-2_i386.deb winex-gui_1.3-2_all.deb winex3-lite.deb emovix_0.8.0rc2-2_all.deb glabels_1.93.3-1_i386.deb kmymoney2_0.5.1-2_i386.deb oooqs-kde_2.0.3-3_i386.deb All had failed :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
