Hello SuSE list
Just need a little clarification/guidance on my apt-get configuration scripts before I try her out.
At the top of my "mirrorlist" there is a line that states: (ommented out) system file "/usr/share/apt4rpm/mirrorlist.dtd". That is where that file is located. Please keep that in mind. When viewing that file I get the following: fatal parsing error: error occurred while parsing element in line 3, column 3 <!ELEMENT components (component)+ >
Now, in the aptate.conf file, about halfway down the list, I see:
<mirrorlist>/home/apt4rpm/.aptate/mirror.xml<mirrorlist>
This is obviously wrong. Question, should I edit it to the above stated location?, or should I edit it to the actual mirrorlist file which resides in /etc/apt ?
Why? because when I run "aptate" I get this error message:
bob@linux:~> aptate XMLin() requires either XML::SAX or XML::Parser at /usr/bin/aptate.pl line 119 error: incorrect config file "/etc/apt//aptate.conf" EXITVALUE: 11 bob@linux:~>
One more question. Don't have ximian or opera. Should I just plug in a "no" for the rpmupdate or should I delete the whole section regarding those functions.
Sure hope someone can help with this. Richard?? Bob S.
Bob, I am no spt4rpm expert, but I am using it with great success on my 8.0 installation. I have never looked at or edited those files in the /usr/share/apt4rpm directory. The only file you have to edit is the /etc/apt/sources.list file to include the component list per the instructions on the SuSE apt4rpm site: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ I removed ximian from my component list since most of ximian rpms are provided by other components (like evolution, for example). I am sure others may have additional advice that may help. Good luck! Regards, Charles __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
