    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.

    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)!

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

    Yes. If yast is not able to install a package your system must be really mesed up and if you dont have really good linux knowledge the best solution is a reinstall of the OS.
