.....<snip>... Went and downloaded all of the files. I see a notice about not using rpm4 with SuSE which is the latest build of apt. I don't want to screw this up.
Just continue what you started. The apt files you retrieved are version 0.3.19, which have proved to work reliable.
Richard, Thanks for your reply.....It is really nice to have the "main man" reply to you. Installed libapt-0.3.19, apt-0.3.19, netselect-0.2-1, and perl-XML-simple. Following the how-to but stopped because I have a question. Synaptic would not install.(dependencies) Also must do a /sbin/SuSEconfig now and then after every upgrade, right?
BTW: the notice is _not_ "not using rpm4 with SuSE", but "SuSE is not using rpm4"
ummm. Not sure I understand. Makes me nervous. Isn't that the same result?? I went through hell with RH when they upgraded 3 to 4. One of the main reasons I use Suse exclusively now. Thought that I read on this list that you had to patch SuSE to make a version 4 of RPM work in SuSE. Does that mean I need/can install the Apt4rpm-0.50-1 ?? Your help and interest is very appreciated. Bob S.
