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?
