Hello SuSE list Just need a little clarification/guidance on my apt-get configuration scripts before I try her out. At the top of my "mirrorlist" there is a line that states: (ommented out) system file "/usr/share/apt4rpm/mirrorlist.dtd". That is where that file is located. Please keep that in mind. When viewing that file I get the following: fatal parsing error: error occurred while parsing element in line 3, column 3 <!ELEMENT components (component)+ > Now, in the aptate.conf file, about halfway down the list, I see: <mirrorlist>/home/apt4rpm/.aptate/mirror.xml<mirrorlist> This is obviously wrong. Question, should I edit it to the above stated location?, or should I edit it to the actual mirrorlist file which resides in /etc/apt ? Why? because when I run "aptate" I get this error message: bob@linux:~> aptate XMLin() requires either XML::SAX or XML::Parser at /usr/bin/aptate.pl line 119 error: incorrect config file "/etc/apt//aptate.conf" EXITVALUE: 11 bob@linux:~> One more question. Don't have ximian or opera. Should I just plug in a "no" for the rpmupdate or should I delete the whole section regarding those functions. Sure hope someone can help with this. Richard?? Bob S.
