I won't go into installing apt4rpm, as I've done so in a couple of other
threads here. Google for it and you should find it. However, once installed
and configured correctly, you'll say goodbye to all these dependency
errors. Quite frankly, it's better than anything I've used yet. You can
also install a GUI for it, called Synaptic.

The manual said to install Windows 2000 or better...
So I installed SuSE Linux 9.1!
