Howto: Install And Configure Apt

Title: HowTo: Install and Configure apt
Description: Advanced Package Tool

http://wiki.suselinuxsupport.de/wikka.php?...andConfigureapt

Post any comments / questions / etc. in here.

The How-To works good, just one small point for clarification:
For 9.1 users, as stated in the How-To, an online update must be done to find the missing popt file.
The update needed is the - C Library for Parsing update.
Do the update before downloading the three files and everything goes along swimmingly.

i've tryed it with Suse 9.3 pro.
i installed lua, apt-libs and apt from the suse9.3-i386 directory, then i've added the following in the sources.list:

#
# Repository created by: aptate (version 0.69.2)

# More info about aptate at: http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net
#
rpm * * *ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.3-i386 update security base suser-rbos packman

then i typed: apt-get update and apt-get install synaptic

the following error occured:

linux:/etc/apt # apt-get install synaptic

i've tryed other apps to install (cause i've installed the synaptic rpm with yast), the same signature errors happened.

whats wrong?

Try this before typing apt-get install synaptic again:

apt --no-checksig install rpmkey-suser-rbos

Synaptic, for some reason, doesn't appear to be a signed package for us SuSE users, so it requires you to set it up not to check the signatures of packages on the rpmkey-suser-rbos user repository.

Hi all...total noob to rpm-based linux, so forgive my lack of know-how..

Will the 9.1 sources work for 9.3 pro? I can't find the 'proper' 9.3 sources on the site given..

never mind, all...did some reading, some thinking, and got it working. This is great stuff...Suse is MUCH more stable than Xandros..!!

Okay...I'm still having trouble with Synaptic and installing, though I've manged to get apt4rpm to work..
here's the error report I'm getting...

Can anybody help? This is *after* the "apt --no-checksig install rpmkey-suser-rbos" was run, as well...

Hi,

--------------------------------------
ADING REPOSITORIES TO YAST
--------------------------------------

Well, Yast is pretty "special" for adding sources, and any wrong character will result on this message (a slash at the end of the URL, or a space, etc.).

I have written a script for adding the most important SuSE reposotories. I have tested one by one, in order to ensure that works fine. If you have some troubles, check the characters of the URL, this is the most usual problem.

APT INSTALLATION ON SUSE
--------------------------------

In order to make apt-get work I have installed those packages on my SuSE 10.0 (and the other required for dependencies):

URL: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE...RPMS.suser-rbos
apt-0.5.15cnc6-rb3
apt-libs-0.5.15cnc6-rb5

Another way is following this instructions:

http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Install-apt4suse

---------------------------
UPDATING APT DATABASE
---------------------------

After changing the /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get needs to build locally a database with the RPMs that can be found on the repositories. In order to do that:

apt-get update

Now apt-get should work fine. This is pretty nice tool, cause it solve dependencies AUTOMATICALLY.

---------------------------
UPDATING ALL YOUR PACKAGES
---------------------------

apt-get dist-upgrade

--------------------------------
/ETC/APT/SOURCES.LIST
--------------------------------

I am sure there are many more repositories (specially for java), but this is what I have at this moment (some src repositorios do nor work properly, not really important):

I have been experiencing a number of problems with apt4suse lately.
An attempt to use "install-apt4suse --update-srclist" results in

numerous entries of

Failure 1 returned by wget! Are you connected ?

Am I connected? Duh!
