dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture ‘amd64′ does not appear in package’s architecture list (i386)

Receiving this error trying to install an RPM on Ubuntu 64? I have an easy solution for you.

“dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture ‘amd64′ does not appear in package’s architecture list (i386)”

Running alien with the -g or -s flag will allow it to continue, but that converts it to folders instead of a DEB. You can either then build it from scratch or install it from scratch. Good luck! :)
