dpkg-deb: error: control directory has bad permissions
I'm running an Ubuntu 12.04 VM and trying to convert an rpm file to a deb file. When I run sudo alien --to-deb --scripts oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm I get this error
dpkg-deb: error: control directory has bad permissions 777 (must be
> >=0755 and <=0775)
I tried sudo chmod 0755 oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm and sudo chmod -R 0755 on the directory containing the file and still get the error. What is the control directory?
Update
Sorry for not realizing this before I am getting this error before the control directory error.
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXm.so.3 has an unexpected SONAME (libXm.so.4)
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXm.so.3
I ran sudo apt-file search libXm.so.3 and it returned libmotif4: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXm.so.3 so I downloaded libmotif4 and still got the error and then downloaded libmotif3 as well and got the error.
I ran sudo alien -g my.rpm and that generated oracle-xe-11.2.0 and oracle-xe-11.2.0.orig directories. I ran sudo chmod -R 0755 oracle-xe-11.2.0 and then ran debian/rules binary to generate the errors described above.

Ok thank you, i came across that link before but it only has a .deb for oracle 10 and not 11. I tried on Fedora and faced a lot of issues with that and read that oracle isn't supported on Fedora community.oracle.com/thread/2279145?tstart=0. I'll try Centos

If your control directory is on NTFS file system, you will get this error. In fact, your file system should support file permissions.
So the first advice is to copy your files somewhere in your home directory that has Ex4 or other file system.
