I am trying to get aptget going on my home machine (8.0), and then trying to get synaptic, but so far no go. I am caught in a catch 22. I installed the version recommended (0.5.4), and libapt-0.3.19, but aptget complains apt obsoletes libapt. apt-get install synaptic doesn't work because it needs libapt-pkg.so.3.1, which is in libapt. apt-get install libapt says it would uninstall apt, apt devel, and apt-howto. Should I just install .3.19 version of apt? -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

if you have updated with YOU, you'll get the dualing package error with the 3 version. The 5 version can coexist with YOU, but you have to compile it, which it looks like you did. There should be a libapt for 5 on the site. I assume... But if you didn't run you, imho, use the 3 version because it has synaptic, but others on the list, really recommend the 5 version. Luckily I hadn't run YOU so I could get away with the 3. Franklin On Monday 09 September 2002 6:37 am, Joe & Sesil Morris (NTM) wrote:

The simplest thing is to uninstall the 0.5 rpm and install the 0.3 one, so that they coincide. I haven't seen any sign of libapt 0.5 yet. HTH Kevin

Will never come too, as the name was altered from libapt to apt-devel. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
