Is this error or ...

 

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.

 

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

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,
gimhan

 

Please try

Code:

yast

instead of

Code:

yast -i <package name>

 

to install a package ,
we need to use "yast -i packagename" , Don't we?

or how can we use only "yast " to install a packageone .

 

yast

pop up the "Yast Control Centre " .

and when i went to the ,

Software ----> Install and Remove Software .

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

 

Then I recommend to do a full re-install of the system. It seems to be really messed up!
