Hello,

I used to download apt for SuSE from Richard Bos' site 
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ and would get only apt, apt-libs and lua and 
it worked ( at least, IIRC ).

I see that the SuSE FAQ links to apt4rpm.sourceforge.net now, however that 
seems to host only the server packages.

Richard's site says:  "- A more recent apt version 0.5.5 can be obtained from 
the official apt  repository.  See http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm for more 
information." however, the only packages on the files page are apt4rpm, which 
seems to be the server package, not the client package:


rpm -Uhv apt4rpm-0.68.2-2.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl-XML-LibXML is needed by apt4rpm-0.68.2-2
        apt-server is needed by apt4rpm-0.68.2-2


I tried downloading the old packages for 9.1 (from 
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/SRPMS.suser-rbos/), but 
they are comming up with funny dependencies: 

rpm -Uhc apt-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.5.i586.rpm
warning: apt-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.5.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key 
ID 8c9b4b0d
error: Failed dependencies:
        libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5.so.0 is needed by apt-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.5
        libpopt.so.0 is needed by apt-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.5

Please - what and where are the correct packages for 9.1? 

It would be nice if this information was on the SuSE FAQ,

Thanks.
