It's failing because in your yum config you have it to require signed
packages, edit your yum config to install unsigned packages.
I know there is a package called alien that converts rpms to debs but I
am not sure about something for the other way around.
Using apt wont matter either if your config require signatures and try
to install a package without them, be it local or not for both yum and apt
