Hope this helps. From Freshmeat.net:

"Alien converts between the rpm, deb, Stampede slp, and Slackware tgz
file formats. If you want to use a package from another distribution
than the one you have installed on your system, you can use alien to
convert it to your preferred package format and install it."
