Hi folks,I have apt-get enabled on the menu.
What is the correct command line to get this package installed?
# dpkg-get
did not work.
TIA
B.R.

What do you mean enabled?If it's in the mydsl menu then it's already installed, otherwise you have to download it from the mydsl extensions.

Is the dpkg that comes with DSL ready to use? I had this problem:| Code Sample |
| dsl@test:/tmp$ sudo dpkg -i mailx_1-3a8.1.2-0.20020411cvs-1_i386.deb dpkg: /var/lib/dpkg/status: No such file or directory |

I used GUI to install Apt
App --> Tools --> Enable Apt

Hi spock,
Tks for your advice.
Whether to run as super root
# dpkg -i apt-get.deb
It did not work here before. Now I got apt-get installed via desktop menu.
# which apt-get
/usr/bin/apt-get
Tks
B.R.

Hi there,sudo dpkg -i works for me, and it should, this is the menu entry in Fluxbox :
[exec] (Enable Apt) {aterm +tr -T "DSL Apt and Dpkg Restore" -e sudo dpkg-restore}
Satimis to enable APT you can also just load the dsl-dpkg.dsl extension, available here :
< http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/damnsmall/mydsl/system/ >
Sorry from your first post it was not clear to me what you wanted to do.

That's what I meant when I said that dpkg is not ready to use unless you load the extension.
That's what dpkg-restore does:
dsl@box:~$ sudo dpkg-restore
