You can convert them with alien, but .deb files are a package format that
is not rpm, and openSUSE uses rpm packages.
What is it that youâre trying to install? Have a look at
software.opensuse.org and see if itâs there in an rpm form.

how can i download and install alien ?
deb-Files might be installable and might not, therefore why you donât answer:

Also alien is avaible there.

From the site that it looks like youâre trying to download from (which I
hope youâll mention in the thread rather than via PM), thereâs a download
specifically for openSUSE. Use that one.
The ârpmâ command is what you need in order to install this package.
zypper will also work (and will attempt to pull in dependencies that this
package needs).
See http://activedoc.opensuse.org/book/opensuse-start-up/chapter-9-
managing-software-with-command-line-tools for information about how to do
this.

No packages found matching your search.
You could try to extend your search to development packages or search for another base distribution (currently openSUSE:13.1).

You need to say what it is that youâre looking to install and which
version of openSUSE you have - at a minimum.
People here arenât mind readers - we only know what you tell us.
Donât make people guess to help you - state specifically and clearly what
it is you are trying to install and accomplish. The someone will be able
to help you.
You might also want to read this:

Youâll need to select the appropriate openSUSE version and âShow unstable packagesâ, then the appropriate package for your system.
Really thnx +++++
Glad to have been of help, but please realise that alien is no guarantee that the DEB package will be converted into a compatible RPM equivalent. If it fails, you may want to tell us what application youâre trying to install (as others have already asked).

Initially, OP had sent me a PM in response indicating it was a portscanner
application that - on its own webpage - includes an RPM that says itâs
suitable for installation on openSUSE. So Iâm really unclear as to why
(a) heâs not saying which it is publicly, or (b) why heâs not using the
RPM that the folks who make the software provide.

Quick answer: you do not.
Instead, you find an rpm prepared for openSUSE, and not for any release,
but for the exact release you have installed.
There is a huge list of packages ready to install, with a search link at
http://software.opensuse.org/
And you install everything with YaST, zypper, or apper.
Only on emergencies, if you absolutely need a .deb package and you are
absolutely sure there is no chance of getting the rpm, then you attempt
conversion with alien (which you can get with YaST).

What is http://software.opensuse.org/package/alien ?
You can read here how to convert: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.de/2010/05/how-to-convert-between-packages-deb-rpm.html
But I say the same like all the others. OpenSUSE has got most important packages in the repository. Use them with zypper or YaST, please.
