   Question regarding Alien tool

   Hi everyone,   
      
   after many years of working with RPM based systems, I have several RPMs   
   that I want to port to Debain format, using "Alien" tool.   
      
   This works, and every files contained are copied to the right location.   
      
   But, for some reasons, "Post install" scripts are not executed. They are   
   needed, though, for, e.g. creating / removing new groups or users on   
   install / uninstall.   
      
   One example is this one:   
      
       https://www.dipl-ing-kessler.de/developer/test/linux-src/mageia-   
   noarch/hddetemp/   
      
   where I had to run "groupadd" by hand on Ubuntu 23.10.   
      
   Any idea what's wrong?   
      
   Or better try to port the source and create the Deb package "natively"?   
      
   Best regards,   
      
   Markus
