I installed apt-get, did "apt-get update" but now..
Actually you ran upgrade, not update.
----- Upgrade trExecute: apt-get update This will synchronize the client's apt package database with the database
I ran update, no mistake. update was the first thing I did. The doc says: provided by the server.
-----
After that I ran apt-get -s upgrade
package that can be upgraded. if you have a slow connection, not a cable modem this could take a few weeks.
I know, that is why I used the -s switch, so I could strip the sources.list
You also don't have all the dependencies met. continued below ...
I know and that is a big problem because I don't know how to solve that.
Install Synaptic, it's a gui for apt-get. You get it at the same place you got apt from.
run apt-get update then go into synaptic, and the "updated' list of files that are available will be there. I'd suggest updating what you need/want and stay away from the upgrade feature.
Sometimes it is easier to run apt-get from the commandline. Perhaps I will try the synaptic program later. The only thing I was trying is getting a new mozilla, so that should be a piece of cake with apt-get upgrade, with only mozilla in the sources.list, isn't that true? But At this moment apt-get still complains: cbw:/etc/apt # apt-get -s upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: kdegraphics3: Obsoletes: kuickshow kdelibs3: Depends: qt3 (= 3.0.4) but 3.0.3-15 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. It does not matter if I like to upgrade everything or not. I want to get rid of those errors.
As a warning, some unlucky people have removed things with apt and had a unusable or messed up system afterwards. i use it alot, and haven't run into many problems, but then again i don't let it remove what i'm not sure about.
If Yast2 did do the trick I would not use apt-get, but imho yast2 does not update all the software, for example mozilla. And it is a lot easier to install new software with apt-get, instead of installing (old) from the cd. --Kees
