And I am thinking a possible work around for this issue:
1) use alien to convert the original rpm into a deb;
2) use ar, tar, gzip to decompose the deb;
3) add prepared files in;
4) use md5sum, tar, gzip ar, etc to re-assemble a new deb;
5) use alien again, to convert the deb to a new version of rpm.
The potential danger of this work around is the compatibility issue. I haven't try it but it is likely the final rpm doesn't work on the original platform.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
It won't work.
Thanks for your reply, Sam. I understand there will be many software version issues involved, such as rpm version, Berkeley db version, alien version, or even gcc, glibc, etc. And any of these difference may caused problem - but why are you so sure it will NOT work? Would you like to elaborate?
