Hello all Has anyone installed and used "apt" on the SUSE beta 10.1? I installed the same two apt and apt-lib rpm packages that I am using on SUSE 10.0: apt-0.5.15cnc7-6 apt-libs-0.5.15cnc7-6 I used the "sources.list" from http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.1-i386/examples/sources.list.... When I ran "apt-get update" I got the following error message: apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Running Apt update... apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Checked to what the differences between rpm and librpm were on SUSE 10.0 et SUSE 10.1 BETA1. The results below show the version changes... # SUSE 10.1 BETA 1 rpm-4.4.2-9 # SUSE 10.0 rpm-4.1.1-222 # SUSE 10.1 BETA 1 ls -l /usr/lib/librpm* linux:/data/Install/Apts # ls -l /usr/lib/librpm* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 363460 Jan 15 18:30 /usr/lib/librpm-4.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156980 Jan 15 18:30 /usr/lib/librpmbuild-4.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 989460 Jan 15 18:30 /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 415100 Jan 15 18:30 /usr/lib/librpmio-4.4.so # SUSE 10.0 ls -l /usr/lib/librpm* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 320240 2005-09-09 17:10 /usr/lib/librpm-4.1.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156572 2005-09-09 17:10 /usr/lib/librpmbuild-4.1.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1028772 2005-09-09 17:10 /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.1.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 314868 2005-09-09 17:10 /usr/lib/librpmio-4.1.so # I tried the following just to see what would happen ln -s /usr/lib/librpm-4.4.so /usr/lib/librpm-4.1.so ln -s /usr/lib/librpmbuild-4.4.so /usr/lib/librpmbuild-4.1.so ln -s /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.4.so /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.1.so ln -s /usr/lib/librpmio-4.4.so /usr/lib/librpmio-4.1.so Results running apt-get update # apt-get update Get:1 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386 release [1366B] Fetched 1366B in 0s (2043B/s) Get:1 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/rpmkeys pkglist [5801B] Get:2 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/rpmkeys release [133B] Get:3 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/base pkglist [5935kB] Get:4 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/base release [130B] Get:5 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/extra pkglist [128kB] Get:6 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/extra release [131B] Get:7 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/security pkglist [14B] Get:8 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/security release [135B] Get:9 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/rpmkeys srclist [14B] Get:10 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/base srclist [721kB] Get:11 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/extra srclist [16.5kB] Get:12 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.1-i386/security srclist [14B] Fetched 6807kB in 17s (380kB/s) Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Good but not good enough as there are still have a few important problems to solve before I apt will work as shown below... apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: apt: Depends: librpm-4.1.so but it is not installable Depends: librpmdb-4.1.so but it is not installable Depends: librpmio-4.1.so but it is not installable apt-libs: Depends: librpm-4.1.so but it is not installable Depends: librpmdb-4.1.so but it is not installable Depends: librpmio-4.1.so but it One last thing... I noticed that the the SUSE 10.1 BETA CDs contain version "apt-libs-0.5.15cnc7-9" (I installed "cnc7-6") but there is no "apt" package. I know that smart is the way of the future but I still like using the two of them. All comments welcome James
