RPM dependency help (apt 4 rpm)
 

I am trying to install apt in order to run apt 4 rpm. I got apt-0.5.4cnc9-1cl.i386.rpm and attempted to install it using rpm -i rpmname. It tells me it has to unresolved dependencies. librpm .so. and libpopt.so. I download and install librpm. Fixes that dependency.

I try and download libpopt.so and cant find it. I download popt.so (should work right?) and try to install it. Except my suse 9 already has a newer version of popt. So I cannot install. Fine I retry the rpm -i and I get

'libpopt.so.0 is needed by apt-0.5.4cnc9-1cl'

What can I do? Does libpopt exist elsewhere or is the rpm just not finding my already installed libpopt?

Thanks in advance for your help.

how about download newer version apt?

apt install problem
 

hi, I was just wondering if there was any resolution to your problem installing apt. I am having the exact same situation. I've installed popt and popt-devel. I even tried symbolic links into /lib. I think I have the latest vesion of apt-libs

if you are having trouble installing apt due to the libpopt.so.0 dependency (especially Suse) the solution is probably to get the popt-patch. I had popt and popt-devel both installed and was still getting the error. Here's where I found it:

ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/SuSE-Linu...i586.patch.rpm

i use suse 9.0 personal...i went to
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/

and downloaded
apt-0.5.15cnc6-rb5.i586.rpm,
apt-libs-0.5.15cnc6-rb5.i586.rpm and
lua-5.0.2-rb1.i586.rpm

they installed and work perfect...
maybe it's the apt-libs package that has the libraries you are missing?
