Problem when using alien to install Oracle SQL Developer

I am trying to use alien --scripts to make a .noarch.rpm file into a .deb file, however, it is not working. I am trying to install Oracle SQL Developer: I have downloaded the sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-1.noarch.rpm package from here . alien --scripts sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-1.noarch.rpm at this point I would expect the file the file sqldeveloper_4.0.3.16.84-2_all.deb to be created so I could call the following command to install it: dpkg -i sqldeveloper_4.0.3.16.84-2_all.deb However this is not the case. When I call alien --scripts sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-1.noarch.rpm I get a folder with the name sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84. After looking in the folder, I have found that there is a large proportion of the program missing, the folder which contains all of the executable scripts to set up and run SQL Developer. I am using a `Debian Linux sever, release 6.0.10. Is there a way for me to make it create the .deb file when I call the alien --scripts command?
