Carl,
Thanks for the help - I should have mentioned that I have opensuse 10.0
I downloaded install-apt4suse and installed it OK. However, when I try to use it I get this error:
Do I just need to create a folder called pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/RPMS ?
Linux:/home/nathan # install-apt4suse
/usr/bin/install-apt4suse: line 144: [: missing `]'
/usr/bin/install-apt4suse: line 144: 10.1: command not found

You haven't described your environment, but on my 10.0 system:
carl@linux:~> rpm -q --whatprovides libdb.so.2 db1-1.85-90 --> So, this package is included with SUSE 10.0
carl@linux:~> rpm -q --whatprovides librpm.so.0 no package provides librpm.so.0 --> ... whereas this package isn't.
A little Google research suggests that librpm.so.0 was distributed with SuSE 9.0 and 9.1. ** I also came across some postings where someone was getting this error while trying to install apt4rpm, which is the server (to manage and provide apt repository services) instead of just apt-get, the client package**
There /is/ an rpm you can download and install containing a script that looks at your SUSE installation then downloads, installs and configures the apt client for you, completely automatically. It's a great time-saver. Check out this link:
