How exactly, do you add usr-local-bin to your source.list? Do I have to add compnents to usr-local-bin?
Open /etc/apt/sources.list and just add usr-local-bin to the end of your list for gwdg. Use kwrite or your favorite editor. You'll have to (as root) chown "username" /etc/apt/sources.list in order to save it.
Also when I update an individual package using synaptic I get: Sub-process /bin/rpm returned an error code (6)
Which package? also see below.
When I update all updatable packages using synaptic I get: Sub-process /bin/rpm returned an error code (138) and sometimes error code (1).
Can someone tell what this means and what to do about it?
I think the number has to do with the number of packages that are being upgraded at the time of the error, but that's just my hypothesis.
Please post the contents of your sources.list. It's in /etc/apt/sources.list. Most likely you have update-prpm & or security prpm listed; because these give patch rpms apt and synaptic are erroring out because you don't have the right package to apply the patch to..
There are some components listed in apt that you might want to remove like the prpm listings, kde-stable, the susers, suse-people, mantel-kernel, ...mozilla.
All you need is base, kde,xfree86,security,usr-local-bin, update, security, packman(if you want xine or mplayer), extra(?),funktronics(?).

Hello Franklin, From what you've said I think there are errors. Here is my sources.list: # Uncomment the line below, in case you want to use SuSE's patch rpms. # Read the information about patch rpms at http://linix01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm # rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/8.2-i386 update-prpm security-prpm # A very basic sources.list line.
