Last night, I installed APT. I followed the instructions for a client installation, which included:
apt-get update
apt-get check
"This will make sure that you have no unresolved dependencies between installed packages. If it complains, that this is not the case, try:" (it did)
apt-get -f install
At this point you should read the output of this command: It lists all the packages that are to be deleted or installed IF YOU CONFIRM [Y/n].
After I did this, I saw a whole bunch of files deleting before my eyes..
So you confirmed while you didn't actually read (or understood) what was to be deleted? Why?? retorical question: This means a lot of dependencies weren't met. How is this possible if you set up this system with Yast, that is supposed to autocheck/select depencies too?
KDE didn't work anymore. I couldn't even open a shell. Nothing worked but my mouse.
Went to the SuSE database, and found the instructions to delete Lilo and uninstall Linux. There're both gone now.

I wish you well and maybe we'll meet again on this list in the future. Marcel
