[SOLVED] Problem in installing deb package manager in redhat el5

[ykmantri]

I want to install deb library on redhat to install .deb packages on redhat. (i doNOT want to convert deb to rpm).
I got dpkg i.e. debian package manager at this site->

sfr-fresh_com/linux/misc/dpkg_1.14.28.tar.gz

but i am having some error at end of make and thats why its not working
( after trying dpkg in terminal like ubuntu its still saying command not found)
i tried to get rpm of deb from site->

f tp://ft p.pbone_net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home%3A/puzel%3A/Factory/openSUSE_Factory/src/deb-1.14.21-17.11.src.rpm

but it have very much dependancy problem. Can anyone help please?

That sounds like a terrible idea and a good way to break your system. Why do you want to do that?

You're also trying to use an opensuse rpm package, which is another good way to try and mess up your system.

If you haven't already considered it, YUM would probably be a better package tool for you unless there is some reason that you can't use it.

we can use centos repo from link
ht tp://rpms.plnet.rs/centos5-i386/RPMS.plnet/

and can get dpkg*.rpm also dependancies there.
One more point i want to mension that only conversion from .deb to .rpm by alien package was not much useful in my case.
