apt-get??
I am tryin to install Eterm-0.9.2-1.i386.rpm but when I run:
Code:
apt-get install Eterm-0.9.2-1.i386.rpm Code:
Reading Package Lists... Done |
apt-get install eterm
That should do it. Your question deserves a RTFM but... |
RTFM?+ ready tried that
|
If it cant find "eterm", then its probobly not there.
RTFM = Read the fucking manual. |
well It is my home directory, and that is where the terminal is at.
|
+ it is not only that pkg it is every pkg I try, and I cant find out how to fix it .

Hi,
I am assuming that you are trying to use apt-get in RedHat 9. In debian, we have a file (/etc/apt/sources.list) that must be edited, so apt-get will know where to get the packages from. It almost sounds as if apt-get is not being updated correctly. Are you using Red-Hat? If so, are you using the correct version of apt-get? How does apt-get know where to get the packages from? ( which file do you edit, or is there one?) |
Have you ran:
apt-get update |
Here is what seems to be a really good HOW-TO, courtesy of Fancypiper:

well yeah I am usin Red hat and I wasnt sure if I should have run update(thinkin It might screw with some of the stuff I have set up)
|
update just updates the package list, it doesnt actually change any files.
I think what you are thinking of is: apt-get dist-upgrade that upgrades your whole system. |
will update help?
|
oh and yeah I checked and I have the right version
|
wait could it be that a it gives me this error most of the time:?

Apt-get for RedHat
Hi,
I really think you would do well to go back and read the HOW-TO posted above. I have admitted that I know nothing about RedHat, but if it is complaining about multiple versions of different packages on your system, I am pretty sure that is compounding your problem. Apt-get can be used to remove packages as well as install them. It sounds as if you need to go through your installed packages, and get rid of the ones that are causing conflicts. I do not know how this is done in RedHat. I know it is a lot easier for me to say, than for you to do. Good luck. |
