Re: apt-get for deb and rpm

Hi,

AFAIK, it's not possible to mix these different packaging systems in a single list of sources. You can use the "alien" package to convert between DEB and RPM formats, among others. PCLinuxOS have this utility, but you will have to deal hard with dependences and, overall, it's not recommended install packages of so different distros, mostly cases you may break your whole system. So, IMHO, if you need a more complete distro, move to Debian, Mint, Ubuntu or any other Debian Pure Blend.

hi,
Is it possible to mix   rpm and deb  with apt-get  procedure



I installed PLlinuxOS  which use apt-get with rpm

I wanted to complete the pclinus with packages I've downloaded before from debian

here is a line in sources.list

rpm http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/texstar/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2010 main update

I added  the classic line with debian package like

deb file:/home/ExtraPackages    /

I got an error     "deb"  format is not recognized
In debian  the rpm is not recognized, here "deb" is not

how to combine them
thanks a lot

bela
