The PKG extension can be used, among others, within MacOS X operating system, developed by Apple. PKG files contain packages of compressed installer files with the XAR internal format, which purpose is to install an application on Mac computers.
Files with DEB extension contain Debian software packages used by Unix-based operating systems. Single DEB archive contains two TAR archives. First archive contains control information for the installer, while the second one holds the actual application installation files.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the PKG file after converting to DEB may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from PKG to DEB to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting PKG to DEB does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in PKG format, properly converted to a DEB file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file PKG the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of PKG file to other than DEB. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your PKG file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to DEB on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the PKG file in its original format (without conversion to DEB file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
