From the web page: SuSE-8.0 users are encouraged to install the newer apt version (apt-0.5.4). APT version 0.5.4 can be downloaded from here: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/apt-0.5.4 Store the contents of 1 of the following urls (depending on your system) in the file: /etc/apt/sources.list; component list for SuSE-8.0: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.0-i386/examples/sources.list.FT... .

You should also download the apt-devel package of the same build, and while you are there download the synaptic package.
then I went back to fetch /libapt.
That package has been replaced with apt-devel. There is info on the site stating this. ;-)
I feel like the motorist who was going on a one-way street and comes to a fork with three signs: no U turn, no left turn, no right turn.
You will also need to set up your /etc/apt/sources.list file with the correct info for your version of SuSE. The correct info is on the web site. You should maybe choose which 'groups' you want to check on. Then, you can signal to get in the fast lane, and issue apt-get update and see it work. If you do this in an xterm, you can see if there are any error messages. If there is none, try making an icon to synaptic, with the exec line being "kdesu /usr/sbin/synaptic" (assuming you use kde), then click on the icon, enter your root password at the prompt, and enjoy a pretty nice gui for apt-get. HTH.
