Re: need help with dependencies for apt-get

Did you get apt-*.rpm for the appropriate operating system?
Seriously, many of those are basic libraries indeed, and I'm guessing
that you have one from a wildly divergent operating system. What OS
are you working with?




Me or the OP? me personally am using 2.4.16 (upgrading gcc beyond 2.95
is a b*tch for me) upgraded from slackware 7.0. the OP is either using
redhat or debian, what kernel I have no idea. As for the versions, he
may just have an old distribution. I last got 2.2.16 in a distribution
and have about 2 gig of tar.gz's that I used to upgrade to where I am
now, so anything's possible in that respect.

P.S. My xnews shows you replying to me not the OP.

I was speaking to the OP: I see how my reply may have looked confusing.

But "2.4.16" is a kernel, not the OS. Slackware 7.0 is the OS. And frankly,
I don't see how the kernel has anything to do with Shahin's problem. The
dependency problems he mentioned were with other packages, such as ncurses,
not the kernel.
