or their is other way to do this.... ?
please tell me
A reinstall would be much better, but if you like to live on the edge,
something like this should work:
rpm -qa --qf '%{name}=%{version}-%{release}\n' | xargs apt-get install --reinstall
This requires you to have all the packages you have installed to be
available from a repository that is configured in apt.
If you don't have the exact package versions available, you might as well
do:
rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\n' | xargs apt-get install --reinstall
On a 64bit multilib system this would become a bit more complicated but I
doubt it is impossible :)
If some packages are not in a repository, you'd have to filter them out
with some grep -v expression.
BTW A similar thing is possible to convert a RHEL system to CentOS or
backwards.
