    ANyone know how to convert from .deb to .rpm? I know you can convert to .tgz (slack) but I'd like to keep it to .rpm. Any ideas?

    I used to do that using alien a fair bit, but obviously, things don't always work as nicely as they should.

    I haven't had to do that in quite a while since I discovered the excellent http://www.apt-get.org, which has loads of nonstandard software in the Debian format.

    Given that irishdizz wants to convert a deb to rpm, I'd imagine that s/he isn't using debian.
