DWSIM: Unable to install package. Broken dependences

I’m trying to install a package that’s only available in .deb packages. I converted it to a .rpm package using ‘alien’ and it worked perfectly, but when I tried to install it, some dependences couldn’t be resolved for some reason, here’s the complete log:

Error:

    (try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages)

Any ideia about that is it?

You can try to satisfy some of these dependencies, e.g.

dnf provides "mono(System)"
dnf provides "mono(System.Core)"

And ignore the others.
But most likely something will not work properly.

You can also try Wine as mentioned here.

Or utilize virtualization: GNOME Boxes, virt-manager, VirtualBox.

I think you need install package mono-devel to do run the program, try install it:

sudo dnf install mono-devel
