    Use alien. Refer to alien's man page for instructions on use.

    $ alien --to-deb package.rpm

    I agree with stormy, though - Read the man page as it's very useful, and will show you additional functionality available from the alien utility.

    Why don't you get the .gz or .deb file ? If you paid for it, you can get it for "free" ..
    Anyway, alien -d works wonders
