http://apt-rpm.org/

I'm not meaning to be picky or anything here, but the above URL is 
readily available with a quick google search and some inference from the 
results. (eg, pages that talk about apt-rpm)

The same google search also fields a result that points out that apt 
doesn't work with multilib systems (so any 64-bit systems will break, I 
guess, as they're all multilib based), and one suggested using 
http://labix.org/smart instead.  (
