I guess I've tried it now, and can forget about it. I think, like Fred, that when Novell packages apt with SuSE officially, I'll give it another look. Until then, I note that 1) the packman xine packages install fine by hand (I've used them for years), and 2) red-carpet is now being included in the distro, and though the software it provides may be buggy, I've not seen it screw up my system.
Funny to read what is stated above. It's clear that you don't understand how it all works: If suse would package apt with the distro you would run into the same problems...., because you are using -non- suse rpms. Because of this the yuo may run into problems as you have noticed. This will happen as well when suse will include apt in the distribution. If you would use apt with the apt components base and update (or security which is just a subset of update) you won't see any problem. But than you can use yast as well. Red-carpet/apt/yast you all provide the same packages from base and update. Apt provide many many additional packages. Red-carpet is able to provide the same packages as apt, as it will use the same package metadata!! Than is smart http://smartpm.org/ than can do what apt, RC, you etc can do, but as stated it can do it better.... What problems are you getting? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
