!!! alien should not be used to replace important system packages, like init, libc, or other things that are essential for the functioning of your system.

更好的做法:

fakeroot alien iozone-3-398.i386.rpm

原因:

runs a command in an environment wherein it appears to have root privileges

fakeroot works by replacing the file manipulation library  functions  (chmod(2), stat(2)  etc.)
