SuSe 9.3 64-bit apt-get question...

I'm following the perfect suse 9.3 howto, except i've been modifying things a little bit since i'm running the 64-bit version.

when installing apt i went with the top two listed here (haven't tried jmorris, but should it matter?)

Code:

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-x86_64/RPMS.suser-scorot/apt-0.5.15cnc7-0.suse093.sc.x86_64.rpm
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-x86_64/RPMS.suser-scorot/apt-libs-0.5.15cnc7-0.suse093.sc.x86_64.rpm
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-x86_64/RPMS.suser-jmorris/apt-0.5.15cnc7-suse093.jm.2.x86_64.rpm
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-x86_64/RPMS.suser-jmorris/apt-libs-0.5.15cnc7-suse093.jm.2.x86_64.rpm

for my sources.list, i've been using this
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-x86_64/examples/sources.list.FTP

everything has been going fine, except when I got to mysql & mysql-devel. It's telling me failed: cpio: Bad magic. It seems that this would mean corrupted packages...

no doubt i could get this installed in some other way, but I was trying to follow the howto as best as I could, so that perhaps other people could benefit...

any help that someone might lend would be appreciated.

 

In that case I'd try to install these packages with yast.

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


Now i also can't use yast - i , instaed of apt-get , because when i use yast - i packagename , system asked some missing system libries. Pls try to resolve the atleast yast .

 

But does

Code:

yast

instead of

Code:

yast -i <package name>

work?

 

yast -i packagename -----> pop up a screen (about Package Dependencies ) and mentioned about some libriries are missing. (librpm-4.1.so,libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5.so.2.. )

 

No, don't use

Code:

yast -i <package name>

, simply run

Code:

yast

(no other parameters)!

 

yast

pop up the "Yast Control Centre " .

and when i went to the ,

Software ----> Install and Remove Software .

Result---> same missing library files screen was displayed .

 

I recommend to re-install the system; it seems to be really messed up!

 

Do U mean re-install the Operating system ?
