Is this error or ...

This means you will have to install the packages mentioned in failed dependencies first.

You can follw the tutorial even without installing and using debian. If you get a line like:

apt-get install package1 package2 package3

replace it with:

yast -i package1 package2 package3

The SuSe 10 perfect setup howto I've written uses this approach.

Hi i found the error of the command.

9.3-i386/RPMS.suser-rbos.
Here i forgot to tell u , i am using x86_64/server .
So i think i need to find the exact path of the apt-libs-0.5.15cnc7-0.suse093.rb0.i586.rpm.

If u do know the path . pls let me know. Thx for u r KIND HELP.

Either you find the 64Bit RPM for apt and the 64Bit RPM repositories or you use yast instaed of apt as i posted above.

The yast solution might be easier. The howto was written for 32 bit linux.

Maybe you can install apt-get with yast (at least this works for SuSE 10.0), or you do what Till suggested: use yast instead of apt-get. The result will be the same.

install apt on suse 9.3/64 bit

su93254144:/etc/apt # vi sources.list
# A very basic sources.list file.
# Remove "base" in case you are behind a slow connection.
# Fastest repository comes first, with netselect it is possible to determine

su93254144:/etc/apt # apt-get update
apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I suggest it's best to use yast instead of apt-get on SuSE 9.3 64-bit.

after failure of the apt-get installation, i tried with yast -i packgeone command.
Then i received this kind of error. I think this is because of apt-get mising library. please help me to work the yast -i packge command .

when i enter yast -i packgename

system said some system libries are missed . How do i resolve this and work with yast - i ?

Do i need to uninstall the apt-get ? if so pls let me know the steps to uninstall the asp-get ?
