Yes, as all of them are just frontends to RPM. > For example, do I need to pick one and stick with it - or do they work > together? They work together, just don't run them at the same time (i.e. don't have apt-get install a few packages and exactly the same time, have smart install a few others - the RPM database has locking so it should avoid problems, but better don't do it just to make sure ;)). But you can e.g. install a few packages with yast2 and once yast2 is finished, install a few others with apt and then with smart, etc... It all boils down to the RPM database and the RPM library in the end. All those package managers are just front-ends that compute dependencies, pull dependencies automatically but in the end, they all do the same call to librpm to install/upgrade/remove/query packages. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFWOxLr3NMWliFcXcRAhy/AJ9KL4+GiVgt/nyCukrkLPfEbTjrgwCdEqb+ OIy8olBkAdw9VO9kYYHMum0= =oH4E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
