No, please. YaST is doing fine, why change to APT?
For all the software out there that is not included in SUSE itself, like playing DVD's, wmdrawer, ccze, Even with the amount of software available with each distro, there will always be some things that will NOT be included and that a user would like. Also for upgrading from version to version. I do not see it a a replacement. I see it as an adition to what YAST already is doing. A lot of people already use apt4rpm and synaptic. This could be an addition to those who would like to use it.
What would, perhaps, be interesting is a command-line front-end to YaST that allowed you to install, uninstall, search for packages and so on. There's y2pmsh but it's supposed to be experimental.
I use pin to search and then do `yast -i package` for instalation. Works like a charm for me. Uninstall I do with rpm -e. Writing a script to include all three should be easy. houghi -- The 80's -- when you can't tell hairstyles from chemotherapy.
