I have a .deb file that needed to be altered. I have decompressed the .deb file and made the necessary changes.

How do I re-compress the file back into a .deb file.

I found the answer.

First, right click on the extracted archive and choose compress. Choose "tar.gz" format.

Next, in a terminal, run the following command:

sudo alien --to-deb ~/Desktop/filename.tar.gz

replacing ~/Desktop/filename.tar.gz with the actual path to the actual file.
