Mike Noe:
It appears your alien is not installed properly somehow.  I'm not sure about GekoOS, but here is the repository where I get alien for my openSUSE machines (version 8.88-3.30):

--- Code: ---http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/utilities/openSUSE_Factory/
--- End code ---

You might try a removal of alien and then a reinstall.  On Tumbleweed it would be this sequence of cmds:


--- Code: ---sudo zypper rm alien
sudo zypper in alien
--- End code ---

Then, check the version:
--- Code: ---alien -V
--- End code ---

tlcmd:
OK.
Here is where I am now. I'll try installing MediaCenter24 again
Thank you, I am learning. I appreciate your help.
tlcmd

tlcmd:
Awesomedonkey,
O I got alien version 888 installed and ran sudo alien -r --scripts /home/tlcmd/Downloads/MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb in the terminal and it changed my download file to theses:
/home/tlcmd/Downloads/MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64Monday04February20190109.35PMEST tlcmd-Dick drwrxr-xr-r-x (a 3 item folder)
/home/tlcmd/Downloads/MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64.debFriday01February201910:24:17AMEST tlcmd-Dick -rw-r-r- (a 39mb Debian Package)

The (items are in the download lines separately between  ....amd64 and amd64.deb but did not copy and paste.

Where do I go from here?
Thanks again!!!
tlcmd

BTW, my use or alien did report that an rpm was produced, but I know not where it is.

Mike Noe:
So, alien will create a folder from the location you run it, which will contain the files to be added to the resultant rpm.  When it's finished, it removes that folder and you should have an rpm file in the folder you ran alien from, probably named something like:  mediacenter24-24.0.74-2.x86_64.rpm

From here, you simply install it: 
--- Code: ---sudo zypper in mediacenter24-24.0.74-2.x86_64.rpm
--- End code ---

You might get an "error" msg from zypper that looks something like this:
--- Code: ---Problem: mediacenter24-24.0.74-2.x86_64 requires libcef.so()(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided
  not installable providers: syslog-ng-3.19.1-2.1.x86_64[repo-oss]
 Solution 1: deinstallation of systemd-logger-239-4.2.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install mediacenter24-24.0.74-2.x86_64
 Solution 3: break mediacenter24-24.0.74-2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c] (c):

--- End code ---

Choose 3 and hit enter to continue.

I just started noticing this a few installs back, probably should bug Bob for some insight....I think this is a chromium lib.
