dpkg was removed from DSL and made available separately as a myDSL package:< http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/system/ > Posted by bela on April 11 2005,14:12

Ok, but synaptic called apt-get and tried to install it via internet ( from ibiblio.org ...) so we are in an empty loop!!!! how to start!!!! maybe first, we have to install dpkg or apt-get from source tar.gz !!! best regards Posted by mikshaw on April 12 2005,17:50
"mydsl-load /path/to/dsl-dpkg.dsl"All mydsl packages can be installed in this manner. You might also need gnu-utils for proper use of dpkg, but i'm not sure about that. |
