Yast will work on a console as well. It doesn't make sense to use a non-standard app (apt) to update your packages on Suse. It won't keep your rpm database properly updated.
Now you got me curious. Apt will use the same RPM files as Yast and underneath will use the same rpm executable to install them. How should that lead to differences or even a not properly updated rpm database? Or did I miss something?
It could be that I'm learning something here. It's my understanding that apt is .deb based and does not properly deal with the rpm database. Is this wrong? Debian does not have an rpm database, and apt is a Debian tool. -- Until later, Geoffrey
