is there a pakage manager that reads .rpm tar.gz tar.gb .deb and .apt

also it would be nice to have that very same program convert exe files to to make the linux windows transfer better so people could scrap wine cause thats too complicated for some people to config that are beginers

yahmorah,

Ubuntu can only install Ubuntu DEB files natively - that's it. Even DEB files from other distributions should be avoided!

.tar.gz is technically only a compressed tar file - which could be ANYTHING, but typically does contain source code - you should have a look at Checkinstall https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall which creates DEB file from source code so the apt mechanism can control the install/uninstall.

You should really avoid RPM (& YUM) files as they are build/designed for other distros - but there is a program called alien that can help in some cases with the installation of RPM files.

As for a program to convert exe files to native linux programs this would be very nice - but most likely quite impossible.

The major point that I'd like to make is - STICK TO NATIVE UBUNTU DEB FILES

Best of luck,
George

archive manager extracts all archived files ie zip rar tar.gz and deb packages are installed directly so you don't need any package manager, by default all debian packages are installed with this.
And is it possible to convert exe files to deb....don't think so as exe files are meant for windows specific...you can look for packages which do the same job in linux....just visit softpedia.net for free packages with details.
rpm to deb converter you may fine in softpedia or ubuntuone before that check in synaptic package manager.
Hope this info helps you....frankly it is not a question but a wish list entry...
Thanks
