Error while converting RPM to DEB using alien."},"content":{"rendered":"

Hi, as mentioned in the title, I got this error “Unpacking of ‘Lumerical-2024R1-3-afe718e21a.el7.x86_64.rpm’ failed at \/usr\/share\/perl5\/Alien\/Package\/Rpm.pm line 168.” It is a very common alien error. As per the advices I got from linux forums, I used distrobox, created a fedora container and used the RPM file to install Lumerical inside the fedora container. So I have to enter the container everytime to launch Lumerical. I have 2 queries.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I plan to use Python API in the future. Will I get any errors when I do this?<\/li>\n
  2. Is there a DEB version available?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
