[SOLVED] converting a package

So I have looked around Google without result unfortunately.  Hopefully someone can tell me that there is a piece of software out there that can convert a .deb package into something Arch can use.  Anyone know of anything?

Like this? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/deb2targz/

You should search the AUR for the package you are looking for, chances are someone has already uploaded it.

Beautiful thank you!  I had searched the AUR with packer.  I must just not have used the right search terms.

bsdtar is capable of unpacking a .deb. There's no need for another binary.
