I am trying to install IBM MQ on my Ubuntu (Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS). But I some how can't install .deb packages inside IBM MQ Visit (stuck on step 3). Every time I try to install the .deb packages I get the following Error. Is there any distribution of Ubuntu which supports .rpm packages, so that I can download and install IBM MQ with .rpm packages in it.

    The RPM will have dependencies as well. You will have to sort out your dependencies, and then install the package. Not look for an alternate format.

  • Have you instead tried the instructions listed in step 4 (the instructions are to use either step 3 or step 4 to install the packages)?

  • I have not tried step 4 of the instructions. I don't need to convert rpm to deb. The packages in the setup are .deb by default. It's just that I am having issues installing these .deb packages.

There is no distribution that natively supports RPM as Buntus/debs use different package managers, but you can convert RPM to DEB and try to install from that. The program that will convert the RPM to DEB is called alien. However, this is normally not recommended as there are normally deb files as well. Or, try installing from source if you are having issues with the .deb.



Here is a link to a site on how to do this: https://www.howtoforge.com/converting_rpm_to_deb_with_alien



Pretty simple once your download alien. Just run alien -k someprogram.noarch.rpm and it will create a .deb file for you. Then you can install the .deb with dpkg -i newlycreateddebfromrpm.deb There is a lot of information on this if you search this site.



The IBM links shows some heavy dependencies and it looks a little quarky on how the install needs to run. Make sure that is followed properly.
