OK.. I am going to try apt again. I have downloaded and installed the rpm and I have replaced /etc/apt/sources.list with the following. # # Repository created by: aptate (version 0.64.4) # At: Tue Sep 2 22:47:33 MEST 2003 # More info about aptate at: http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net # rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/8.2-i386 suse-people base update-prpm update kde xfree86 mozilla extra usr-local-bin suser-kpietrz suser-tcousin funktronics packman packman-i686 mantel-kernel kde3-stable security-prpm security rpm-src ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/8.2-i386 suse-people base update-prpm update kde xfree86 mozilla extra usr-local-bin suser-kpietrz suser-tcousin funktronics packman packman-i686 mantel-kernel kde3-stable security-prpm security #--end file--- Is it safe to run apt-get update at this point? I know I am supposed to remove Ximain but I am not sure where it is.
