Well what I did was this:

   sudo apt-get install rpm
   man rpm

:-)

Alternatively use alien to convert the .rpm file to a .deb file, then
install the .deb as you would any other Ubuntu/Debian package. When I
google "install rpm package ubuntu", the very first link is this one,
which seems OK (I haven't used alien myself though):

Let us know how you go.

Regards, K.
