Hi
It has been a while since I used Redhat (and rpm), but as far as I
remember, rpm dependencys are files, not packages, whereas in debian, it
is based on the package...which results in that it is nearly imposible
to automatically create them..
And if I read the manpage of alien correctly, alien does only support
dependencys when converting from lsb packages....
yours,
Albert
