I changed the subject of the e-mail because it is not related to the KDE discussion. Ok, I started using apt on my 9.3 32bit installation. Somehow my /etc/ld.so.conf file was really wrong. It was pointing to /usr/i486-suse-linux and /usr/i486-suse-linux-ld5, neither of which exist on my system, and it was missing some of the more useful library paths such as the X11 and /usr/lib entries. Could apt have caused this to happen or was it most likely something else? I was using apt to install MythTv (which wound up not being successful due to missing pieces, but that's another issue). I've been using a mixture of apt and yast to install the missing dependencies as I've been building and installing manually. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Bos [mailto:radoeka@xs4all.nl] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 1:33 PM To: suse-kde@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-kde] KDE 3.4.1 released Op dinsdag 31 mei 2005 22:28, schreef Black, Alain:
I haven't used apt on SuSE yet, only on Debian, so this question might just be for my own edification, do you still have to run "apt-get update" to retrieve an updated list of packages?
yes, that's inherent to apt ;) But on suse you can use in most cases 'apt' instead of apt-get, apt-cache, apt-config, etc. - apt update - apt install - apt search - apt dump etc -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
