Hello,
First of all, you should have understood that package.src.rpm is a
source package that is intended to be rebuilt in order to produce binary
(or noarch) packages for installation.
To build source packages, you need rpm-build package installed.
Otherwise you will get "No such file or directory" message just as you
described. The best way to install rpm-build package is with apt-get,
since prerequisites like gcc and glibc-devel also have to be installed.
With rpm-build installed, source package installation is done just as
normal binary package installation:
$ rpm -ivh packages.src.rpm
Source file will be placed under ~/RPM hierarchy.
