alien is a program that converts between .deb, .rpm, .tgz, and .slp
package formats. Install alien by running the following line as root:
apt-get install alien
Then use 'man alien' to see how it works. Some on this list will be
opposed to installing rpms for theological reasons, but this one worked
for me.
Good luck!
