    How to install a rpm package?

    I need to install a rpm package.

    I was told to use dpkg -alien. However when I type man dpkg there is no -alien option.

    Is there another way?

    Either go to adept and install it or
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install alien
    in konsole.

      You use alien to convert it to a deb, then dpkg to install

      Use 'sudo apt-install alien' for the package

      Then its usually just a case of

      Code:
      alien somepackage.rpm
      dpkg -i somepackage.deb
      Be aware that it is not 100% due to various differences between distros.
