Going through and cleaning out my todo folder for alien, I found an
email from an alien user who reported the following bug. I have
not tried to verify the problem, but it seems likely that alien
is exposing filenames to the shell.
-------------------------------

  I have a problem: I'm having problems with deb->rpm convertion when
included files have filenames with  "[" or "]"
  (example ultrastar-deluxe-songs_20100506-2_all.deb )
  (I'm not sure this is the reason of the error)

sudo alien --to-rpm ultrastar-deluxe-songs_20100506-2_all.deb
... lots of errors like:
File not found by glob:
/home/jj/Download/ultrastar-deluxe-songs-20100506/usr/share/ultrastardx/songs/Bodo Wartke - Liebeslied/Bodo Wartke - Liebeslied [CO].jpg
