Ubuntu不援助rpm安装编码解决方式

以前经常使用的是RedHat Linux，习惯行为使用rpm方式安装编码。最近察觉Ubuntu系统化居然不援助rpm方式安装编码，提示情报如下：

root@root$ rpm -i package.rpm

The program 'rpm' is currently not installed. You can install it by

typing:

sudo apt-get install rpm

然而通过apt-get安装rpm包以后依然不能够安装，最后才知道原来Ubuntu不援助rpm，使用rpm安装提示情报如下：

rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages, use Alien

instead!

rpm: However assuming you know what you are doing...

error: Failed dependencies:

.......................

具体的解决方式如下：

首先安装alien，

apt-get install alien

使用alien将rpm包转换成.deb格式的包

alien package.rpm

运行完成后生成一个.deb的编码包,再通过dpkg安装.deb格式的包

dpkg -i package.deb

还有一种方式,直接使用alien安装rpm格式的包,自己还没有试过.

alien -i package.rpm

对于这个问题,官方的说法是这样的

Do not install rpm in Debian (I don't mean flash-plugin, I mean rpm package

management). Debian's package management system (which makes sure everything is

installed properly and with no conflicts.) is dpkg and it also includes apt-get,

Synaptic and aptitude that use dpkg. RPM will bypass dpkg, so you may cause

serious damage to your system.

If you need to install an rpm package, you must do it using the tool "alien".

It converts RPM packages to .deb and installs them properly through dpkg.
