Hi there,
   Here is the list of "dpkg Vs rpm" comparison for command line basis.

#To see files in a package *not* installed ( i remeber it by c for contents)
rpm -qpl package-name.rpm
dpkg -c package-name.deb

#To install a package
rpm -ivh package.rpm
dpkg -i package.deb

# To remove a package
rpm -e package.rpm
dpkg -r package.deb

#To search for a file *belongs* to a package
rpm -qf /path/to/filename
dpkg -S /path/to/filename

#To list all packages installed
rpm -ql
dpkg -l

# To List the files in a installed package
rpm -ql package.rpm
dpkg -L package.deb

#To view status of a package
rpm -qi package.rpm
dpkg -s package.deb
