Ubuntu does not support RPM installation software solutions

Often used in the past is redhat, accustomed to use the RPM method to install software. Recently found that Ubuntu system actually does not support the RPM method to install the software, the following information:

[Email protected]$ rpm-i package.rpmthe Program ' RPM ' was currently not installed. You can install it by Typing:sudo Apt-get install rpm However, after installing the RPM package via Apt-get, it is not possible to install it until the last known Ubuntu does not support RPM, using the RPM installation tips are as follows: RPM: RPM should not being used directly install RPM packages, use Alien Instead!rpm:however assuming you know what is doing. .. error:failed dependencies: .......... .......

The specific solution is as follows:

First install the Alien,

Apt-get Install Alien

Use alien to convert RPM packages to. deb Packages

Alien package.rpm

Build A. deb package after execution completes, and then install the. Deb Package via dpkg

Dpkg-i Package.deb

There is also a way to install the RPM format package directly using Alien, which has not been tried yet.

Alien-i package.rpm

The official argument for this question is this.

Don't install RPM in Debian (I don ' t mean flash-plugin, I mean rpmpackage management). Debian ' s Package management system (whichmakes sure everything are installed properly and with no conflicts.) Is dpkg and it also includes Apt-get, Synaptic, and aptitude thatuse dpkg. RPM would bypass dpkg, so your may cause serious damage toyour system.
If You need to the install a RPM package, you must do it using Thetool "Alien".itconverts RPM packages to. Deb and installs them properly throughdpkg.
