Hello,

I am trying to do my updates using putty via ssh/cmd and this is what I get:

[root@linux jeff]# apt-get update
-bash: apt-get: command not found

I have had no problems running the apt-get command before reinstalling Fedora. I tried:

"yum install apt" and receive this:

[root@linux jeff]# yum install apt

No Match for argument apt
Nothing to do


I then tried running "apt-get update" and received the same error:

[root@linux jeff]# apt-get update
-bash: apt-get: command not found


Does anyone know what I can do to apply my updates via command:

#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade


Thanks in advance!

A side note: Apt is deprecated in Fedora Core in favor of Yum.

Apt is in the "extras" repository. It seems that you only have "base" and "updates-released" enabled. Can you show us your /etc/yum.conf and all the files in your /etc/yum.conf.d? If you are using FC4, extras should have been enabled by default.

#vi /etc/yum.conf:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

___________________________________________________________________________________

/etc/yum.conf.d doesn't exist

[root@linux etc]# locate yum.conf.d
[root@linux etc]#

I am running Fedora3

*checks bulletin board behind him for articles on apt-get*

I don't understand, sorry.

the guy "verbal kint" in the usual suspect made up stories based on the stuff on the bulletin board? sorry, just an attempt at humor.

hahahha OMG I can't beleive I never noticed that.......hahahahhaha Good One! ......I still need help though

no need to be sarcastic.

what repos do you have in /etc/yum.repos.d/ ?

Hey,

I wasn't being sarcastic @ all, I actually found your post pretty funny....Anyways:

[root@linux etc]# cd yum.repos.d
[root@linux yum.repos.d]# ls
fedora-devel.repo fedora-updates.repo
fedora.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo

Verbal Kint: This one will work for fedora extras, but you really should substitute your favorite fedora mirror for the baseurl = ...redhat...:

/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras-mirror.repo:

[extras]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Extras
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Okay I am kind of new to all of this and I am not sure what you meant from the previous post.

Thanks

So you create a new text file in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory, called something like "fedora-extras.repo" and put the following content in it. This is mine from FC4:
But since you don't have it, you're probably not using FC4. For FC3, following the instructions here: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/UsingExtras.
