I get a "Permission denied" error when installing a package created with alien on RHEL8
The problem is that the scripts generated by alien are in /tmp and /tmp is mounted noexec.
Workaround is to remount /tmp without noexec.
It would be good to be able to specify the temporary directory where alien puts its scripts. I understand that mounting /tmp as noexec is a security feature
