A very basic apt how to for Suse 9.1
Install apt-libs and apt from here:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/RPMS.suser-rbos/
Now go to /etc/apt and edit your sources list like this:
#
# Repository created by: aptate (version 0.69.0)
# At: Tue Dec 28 22:10:16 MET 2004
# More info about aptate at: http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net
#
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.1-i386 usr-local-bin base update kde gnome gnome2 misc xfree86 mozilla samba3 ximian suser-rbos suser-oc2pus suser-guru suser-gbv suser-kpietrz suser-tcousin suser-scorot suser-sbarnin suser-jogley suser-ollakka labplot funktronics packman packman-i686 wine suse-people suse-projects kde3-stable security
Now go to:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf
and edit "GPG::Check true" with "GPG::Check no"
Very important: in order for everything to work you need to run YasT Online Update first of all.
Now you are almost there:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install synaptic
Now you have a nice GUI interface to apt.
Finally, in order to upgrade KDE, you need to use only the following components: base update security kde3-stable
Create another line in your sources list or use Synaptic.
For instance you could add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.1-i386 base update security kde3-stable
Comment out the other line, by putting a "#" in front of it.
Or just check/uncheck in Synaptic what you need.
*Strong recommendation*: do not perform a dist-upgrade with *all* the components listed in the sources list on top.

For SUSE 9.2
Install apt-libs and apt from here:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.2-i386/RPMS.suser-rbos/
Now go to /etc/apt and edit your sources list like this:
# Repository created by: aptate (version 0.69.0)
# At: Wed Dec 22 14:19:08 MET 2004
# More info about aptate at: http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.2-i386 update security kde misc xorg mozilla samba3 ximian suser-rbos suser-oc2pus suser-guru suser-gbv suser-tcousin suser-scorot suser-ollakka funktronics packman packman-i686 wine suse-people kde3-stable suse-projects suser-sbarnin
# rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.2-i386 update security kde3-stable
Comment out the first line (by adding a "#") and uncomment the second line (by removing "#") in case you want just to upgrade KDE. Or just check/uncheck in Synaptic what you need.
*Strong recommendation*: do not perform a dist-upgrade with all the components listed in the first line.
Now go to:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf
and edit "GPG::Check true" with "GPG::Check no"
Now you are almost there:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install synaptic
Now you have a nice GUI interface to apt.
Please notice that everything will work better once the component "base" is released, in about a week from now. The components "base" contains the whole SuSE 9.2 distribution. Also notice that more components could be released, for instance "usr-local-bin" (Gnome packages)
Good luck!

apt-get E: Transaction set check failed
so I edited my:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf
and changed "GPG::Check true" with "GPG::Check false" (not "no")
and then had to remove:
apt component 'update-prpm (or *-prpm) in your sources.list
to continue with upgrade
