Hi, A few days ago someone suggested (in reply to a query about genealogy apps for SuSE) that the person use "apt" to obtain the new version of Gramps. I found some excellent tutorials for the Advanced Package Tool - but, none of them mentioned how to find an application once apt is installed. I have downloaded the apt pre-reqs and edited the sources file, everything is there. Now, how do I find Gramps? apt-get install gramps tells me gramps can't be found - is there a directory listing of available rpms somewhere? TIA, 2AM

First make sure your sources.list is identical to the one from here: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-i386/examples/sources.list.FT... (assuming your using 9.3) then run "apt update" to download the latest listings. After that you can run "apt-cache search $" for the package your after. Regards, Ben

You can use the app 'apt-file' for this. Or the procedure as explained on: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html#contents -- Richard
