    Need RPM support for Ubuntu. NOT Alien

    I need a tool or a package manager which let me to install RPM packages on Ubuntu. I have some packages that buggy alien refuses to convert properly. I tried to install them with KPackage and KPackage Kit, but it report erors. I know that packages are OK. Tried them on another machine with RHEL installed. I need this really bad, and if don't find a solution, mighp be forced to switch to some RPM distro. I don't want that to happen because I like Ubuntu.

    The only way to install RPM packages without Alien is to actually install them on a Red Hat-based distro. Sorry.
