Surely my fault, nonetheless unable to get that package from
snapshot.debian.net
Not found
no package found 'apt_0.6.45_i386.deb'
http://snapshot.debian.net/
Debian Project / Debian JP Project
ukai@debian.org / ukai@debian.or.jp
I tried different "spelling" with same result.
Not everyone finds the time to become expert in Debian matter. I have enough
with organic chemistry. Becaule hurried by the preparation of presentations,
is anyone so kind to indicate exactly how to get that deb package, or even
better set it in his server? It would be great service.
Thank you again
