installing rpms with rpm (or some rpm-gui etc.) is not recommended,
rpm uses another package-database than dpkg/apt-get/synaptic

i would use "alien" to convert rpms to debs if you really think you
need to install rpms

as a side-note :
quite some time ago rpm was (unfortunately) chosen to be "the standard
package-format" for linux-distributions for the future, and apart from
that, i don't expect rpm to die out any time soon
