dpkg_apt
hey joe,
on your question of ' which pkm' i only can answer (again) go: do your
research: so this circle closed itself too.
start p.e. with apt how-to by gustavo noronha silva: very useful.
and, for me, apt is good enough. especially the time after wilmer van der
gaast advised me to 'leave' caldera and step up to debian about a year ago.
debian is far from perfect of course but i am still delighted about the strict
logical mathematical build-up.
so my advice to you: do something about yourself and discover again how
positive it is to do honest work and find then the solution to a problem yourself.

The really funny thing about this whole topic is that we've now come full
circle. Read the subject line.
I am asking what package manager I should use, because apt-get doesn't
seem to handle it well. You are telling me to use a different package
manager. I had that answer before I started this thread.
Which one?
