Anybody know apt-get ?
I need to get sources for the Linux version of certain programs that reside in a package called bsdutils. I have built and installed the apt-get program and now I'm just trying to use it, and things are going very badly indeed. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? The errors I am getting are shown below, and here are the current contents of my /usr/local/etc/apt/sources.list file: --- # See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted contrib non-free # Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted contrib non-free --- Here's what happens when I try to fetch the sources: % apt-get source bsdutils Reading package lists... 0%Reading package lists... 100%Reading package lists...

If you could modify the apt-get installer to know FreeBSD's linux compat layout and brand the binaries appropriately you would have a fabously easy method of installing linux bins although I guess you'd have better luck doing it yum rather than apt-get. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Ronald what EXACTLY are you trying to accomplish here? The bsdutils are a collection of commands from the 4.4BSD era that are now included in the util-linux package which is available from Kernel.org http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/ Opportunity is most often missed by people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
