APT on SuSE 9

mooler · 03-09-2004, 12:57 PM

Hi could use some advice on this.
Pretty new to Linux and wanted to use APT to ease my out of my rpm-hell.

So I install it with my YaST and try to run the apt-get update but it gives me the following

Quote:

linux:/home/mooler # apt-get update apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: librpm.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory linux:/home/mooler #

Now I've search for the librpm.so.0 and it is here /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/ but how do I get apt to recognize it?

Any ideas

Try this:

Don't download librpm.so.0: the library is in the package librpm4.deb. Download from http://packages.debian.org/testing/libs/librpm4 (hit i386 button). Install it with dpkg -i exact_name_of_the_package.deb.

However, I don't know if you have the program to install deb-packages.

Hope this will help, I don't have any experience managing rpm with apt-get.

Succes!

http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/ <-- here is the apt archive to 8.* uptill 9.*
if u wanto use a gui tool after u did point 1 to 3 do a apt-get install synaptic when its done run the command synaptic .This might help u on your way some .
