How to convert RPM packages to Deb package in Ubuntu



How to convert RPM packages to Deb package in Ubuntu  :




 







Ubuntu/Mint Support only deb package installation, If you have some software in rpm package you can install it in Ubuntu/Mint easily. Fedora/Redhat and Mandriva support RPM packages.
In Ubuntu/Mint you can easily install softwares from Software Centers or via PPA. If any software is not available in deb/software center/ppa and it's only available in rpm, than you can easily convert that rpm file to deb package with one command using terminal.











 

This RPM to DEB Conversion Utility called Alien.Alien supports conversion between Linux Standard Base (LSB)LSB-compliant .rpm packages,.deb, Stampede (.slp), Solaris (.pkg) and Slackware (.tgz.txz, .tbz, .tlz)packages. It is also capable of automatically installing the generated packages, and can try to convert the installation scripts included in the archive as well. The latter feature should be used with caution since Linux distributions may vary significantly from one another, and using install scripts automatically converted from an Alien format may break the system.
