i copied and pasted from the wiki:

#rpm ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de...linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.2-ppc base update security rpmkeys
#rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.2-ppc base update security rpmkeys

# The list with all available components can be found at:

repomd http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/...o/non-oss/suse/ /

the two german sites do not work and i get the following error message

but now i think i solved it this way:
i went to the rbos site, downloaded, compile and installed the apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-34.1.src.rpm sources
now it works also with repomd
however the apt4rpm version that comes default from the ppc dvd or online repository of opensuse10.2 does not work.
i also installed the apt.conf file that comes with the sources

please tell me if i did anything wrong
