I was trying to Install Oracle 10g-xe on Knoppix 5.0 which I installed on the hard disk.

I got a debian package oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm which I was converting with the following command.

# alien --to-deb oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
But it threw errors and following is the list of errors.

chmod: changing permissions of `oracle-xe-10.2.0.1//usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/hs/admin/inithsodbc.ora': Operation not supported.
Package build failed. Here's the log:
dh_testdir
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_clean -k -d
dh_installdirs
dh_installdocs
install: cannot change owner and/or group of `debian/oracle-xe/usr': Operation not supported
dh_installdocs: command returned error code 256


It gave the operation not supported message for a number of files. I have quoted only one file above. I tried to locate the dh_ log files but couldnt find them.
