Hi landy! make sure you have the most current sources.list file, it should include usr-local-bin in it: rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/8.2-i386 base update-prpm update kde xfree86 mozilla extra usr-loca l-bin suser-kpietrz suser-tcousin funktronics packman packman-i686 mantel-kernel suse-people kde3-stable security-prpm security -- michael On Fri, 26 Sep 2003, landy wrote:

how come apt does not try to upgrade evolution
When you do an 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' does it tell you it's holding Evolution back? If it does then you have a deps problem. You're probably missing a lib that the newer version needs. If it's not saying it's being held back then yes put usr-local-bin in your source.list to get the ULB version. I doubt SuSE would update just for a small non security related bunch of fixes or feature improvements. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

How exactly, do you add usr-local-bin to your source.list? Do I have to add compnents to usr-local-bin? Also when I update an individual package using synaptic I get: Sub-process /bin/rpm returned an error code (6) When I update all updatable packages using synaptic I get: Sub-process /bin/rpm returned an error code (138) and sometimes error code (1). Can someone tell what this means and what to do about it? Thanks, Jerome

Open /etc/apt/sources.list and just add usr-local-bin to the end of your list for gwdg. Use kwrite or your favorite editor. You'll have to (as root) chown "username" /etc/apt/sources.list in order to save it.

Which package? also see below.

I think the number has to do with the number of packages that are being upgraded at the time of the error, but that's just my hypothesis. Please post the contents of your sources.list. It's in /etc/apt/sources.list. Most likely you have update-prpm & or security prpm listed; because these give patch rpms apt and synaptic are erroring out because you don't have the right package to apply the patch to.. There are some components listed in apt that you might want to remove like the prpm listings, kde-stable, the susers, suse-people, mantel-kernel, ...mozilla. All you need is base, kde,xfree86,security,usr-local-bin, update, security, packman(if you want xine or mplayer), extra(?),funktronics(?). -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro

Hello Franklin, From what you've said I think there are errors.

rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/8.2-i386 update-prpm update kde suse-people security-prpm security base gnome2 xfree86 mozilla extra usr-local-bin suser-kpietrz suser-tcousin funktronics packman packman-i686 mantel-kernel wine kde3-stable
Ok I'd remove update prpm, suse-people, security-prpm, gnome2( because it doesn't exist on the apt mirrors anymore), mozilla (because usr-local-bin will replace it), suser-k & t, mantel-kernel, wine (I don't think thats offered anymore either). You also had usr-local-bin in sources.list(3rd line under kde)
rpm http://www.usr-local-bin.org SuSE/8.2-i386 update rpm http://www.funktronics.ca/pub/rpm/apt SuSE/8.2-i386 update
These are wrong.. funktronics and usr-local-bin are in your sources.list rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/8.2-i386 update kde security base xfree86 mozilla extra usr-local-bin funktronics packman packman-i686 Just replace the part you quoted, with this section... rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/8.2-i386 update kde security base xfree86 mozilla extra usr-local-bin funktronics packman packman-i686 run apt-get update and then use synaptic. IMHO don't use apt-get upgrade because there are some packages that I can't upgrade on my system or because they'll remove packages you might need. Just upgrade a bit at a time(all of gnome, then kde ...) HTH -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro
