Hey there, apt-get for RPM wants files "hashfile.gpg" for the signed distribution. They are generated by using the --sign option with genbasedir (beware - this removes the "hashfile" afterwards).
If that was there, we could add: ---------- /etc/apt/vendors.list ... simple-key "mdk" { Fingerprint "63A28CBDA7A8387E1A532C1E59E70DEE9B4A4024"; Name "MandrakeSoft (MandrakeSoft official keys) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"; } simple-key "mdksec" { Fingerprint "BB737822CB91B327219168CC9AA8D0D022458A98"; Name "Linux Mandrake Security Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"; } --------- end and then say in ---------- /etc/apt/sources.list ... rpm [mdk] ftp://ftp.tugraz.at/mirror/Mandrake-linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 Mandrake cooker rpm-src [mdk] ftp://ftp.tugraz.at/mirror/Mandrake-linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 Mandrake cooker -------- end Another thing: are the Mandrake security updates apt-get'able? greetings gust
