    How to install a YAST metapackage (.ymp) package under Ubuntu? Are there any tools for converting a .ymp to a .deb or to an installation script?

      As a long time SUSE user, this is the first time I've heard of .ypm files. Do you have an example of one somewhere?

      Your truth - not "ypm", but "ymp"

      What do you want to install, there is a 99% chance of Ubuntu already having it as .deb. If not, there is another 99% chance that this package is so system specific that you don't want to install the ymp as it wouldn't work anyway.

    I told about ypm (YAST, OpenSUSE), not rpm.

    Thought it was a typo. Never heard of ypm. But now I'm curious.
