started my research of this executable rpm2tgz,
rpm2tgz: This is apparently the name of a utility shipped with Slackware and TurboLinux. The TurboLinux files indicate that it is simply a wrapper for rpm2cpio and cpio2tgz, the latter of these will actually unpack the cpio archive into a temporary directory and repack it as tgz
seems issues are:
do you have everything installed that this program needs and
watch out for permissions
if it converts ok then use command installpkg
minmise issues appears to be to grab a slackware file
