I added many new sources to my Yast list, and it still seems to me that
Yast is an inferior tool compared to APT. I tried to add MPlayer and
some other basic programs, and it just complains about lots of
conflicts, and all the resolutions involve removing programs or other
extreme things.
If you select the right source ("packman" for most multimedia stuff ...)
apt might be *your* choice ...
Am I missing something? Is there a way to make Yast actually SOLVE
dependencies instead of proposing solutions such as "ignore and risk
inconsistensies" or "get an older version of such and such"...
YaST seems to have some disadvantages in this regard compared to apt.
Apt seems to SOLVE dependencies automatically and make things much
simpler.
That's right. and there is a GUI called "synaptic" for apt. I use apt as
well as YaST/YOU and haven't had any problem with these two tools up to
now. AFAIK they are using the same RPM database to retrieve there
information.
In a german magazin (c't) there had been an excellent article about apt.
Apt is solving all that stuff in a somehow more consistent way. What I
experienced so far that statement seems to be true.
Best regards,
Reinhard.
