Description : Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede
: slp, and Slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package
: from another distribution than the one you have installed on your
: system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package
: format and install it.
for detailed information:
man alien
(assuming you have installed it)
to install alien:
sudo dnf install alien
to convert .deb to .rpm:
alien --to-rpm package-0.5.0.deb
where package-0.5.0.deb
is the debian package you want to convert
Disclaimer:
Using alien
to convert .deb
to .rpm
is not foolproof. In the end, a package built specifically for a distro is often more compliant to standards defined for that target distro.
