Converting RPM to Debian Package and Vice Versa


Written by Pavs on May 23rd, 2008

Converting these two major packages has never been easier. In this example we will use RPM package of virtualbox 1.60 (renamed it to test.rpm to make life easier), convert it to debian package and than convert that debian package back to RPM.

Converting rpm to deb: sudo alien test.rpm

Converting deb to rpm: sudo alien -r test deb

So simple, yet effective. You can download it from here.
