The person who did apt is now doing smartpm: http://labix.org/smart Smart PM works with yum repos :) ---------------------- To answer your original question: No, you can't. Apt does not work with architectures that can have multiple libraries (aka. Multi-Lib arches). A Multi-Lib arch is one that might have the same packages installed for more than one glibc and can run packages from more than one arch. An example is the x86_64 arch .. it also runs i386 packages. SPARC also can be Multi-Lib, so there is no apt repo for it on CentOS. The only distro where we build and apt repo is i386. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

While I agree Yum and Smart both have their advantages, Apt still has the speed advantage. I use all three across different machines. Panu Matilainen recently added basic multilib support for x86_64: http://distro2.conectiva.com.br/pipermail/apt-rpm/2006-January/002719.html Now, if I only had a x86_64 machine to plan on... Grant
