fedora uses rpm packages, so it wont work with debian apckages
even further, mixing repositories is a very (and pardon my frecnh) stupid idea
each distro packages their own apps in diff ways. ven from fedora 8 to 9 there are many important differences that make what you want , well, a bad idea
dependecies are different also
i wanr you, if you install a rpm not ment specifly for your distro, you might damage your system beyond repair

given package combinations for co-installability according to inter-package relationships.
OPTIONS
