suse 10.0 software update
I am new to SuSE and wanted to know how to install various software on the os and solve dependency problems. Example: I would like to install ettercap on suse 10 but using the YaST install manager does not find it. I try and add a ftp site from http://www.suse.com/us/private/downl...t_mirrors.html but when I search for ettercap it wont find it. When I try and install the rpm it finds various dependencies that I need. Although I can install this software in the long run I was wondering if there was an easier way? Is there anyway to install eterm on SuSE through YaST?
thanks |
The best way to handle with extra software and automatic handling of dependencies in SuSE is apt.
apt is a rpm package manager. Start by updating its local database by "apt update". After that, you can search and install software very easily. You may need addtional repositories. Take a look at http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/. |
You can add additional Installation Sources with YaST. That way those sources are available for dependencies. For example, add the packman site.
