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.

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

# Fastest repository comes first, with netselect it is possible to determine

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 ?



Thx in advance,
