This may not be exactly the right forum for this question, but here goes: I'm running Debian 2.2R6 Potato on a SPARC 5 170MHz (no instability so far, btw)
I downloaded a couple .deb packages to install from a third part (Opera). I'd like to use apt locally to install the packages(instead of just dpkg). The APT HOW-TO would seem very helpful in this regard, as it has a section on this verytopic: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-dpkg- scanpackages Unfortunately, it lists the command used to build the local package list as: dpkg-scanpackages I don't have this command on my system and can't seem to find a source for it. The man page for dpkg wasn't enlightening. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
