Hello, I'm using the apt4rpm for SuSE (with the synaptic gui front-end) and when I use the "update" feature, it connects to the ftp server and updates all the file lists, but then I get a warning: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linus/suse/apt/ will not be authenticated Is this a problem? If so, what should I do to fix it? Thanks very much in advance, Charles __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I was told by a very knowledgable user that this was: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It means that the apt server does not provide gpg information for the apt information database.

Cannot remember where I got it the first time.

Ed, apt-get is a Debian product, and is mainly designed for that system. Apt4rpm is an attempt to get its features (ease of use) working on other systems. Brian Marr On Saturday 13 July 2002 15:57, Ed Harrison wrote:

Here's apt-get for SuSE 8.0 running as I write this :-) papason:/home/deem/filebin # apt-get install figlet Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: figlet 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove(replace) and 50 not upgraded. Need to get 4165kB of archives. After unpacking 7378kB will be used. Get:1 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/8.0-i386/base figlet 2.2-504 [4165kB] 46% [1 figlet 1923600/4164967B 46%] 10.5kB/s 3m33s apt-get for SuSE is in the apt rpm I mentioned in the previous e-mail. It is fully functional and operates quite well. If you follow the instructions on the URL I posted, it will work fine. Best Regards, Dee On (14/07/02 02:57), Brian Marr wrote:

No. It means that the apt repository itself is not signed. The rpms provided by the repository can be side (the ones from SuSE are all signed). -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
