The Adept Package Manager doesn't suit you??
Gee, I came from the SuSE world and I find adept much better (and one heckava
lot faster) than Yum.

Yum-like package list?
Hi,
I'm new to Linux. And am using Kubuntu. I've been using the Synaptic Package Manager instead of Adept. I found Synaptic easier.
But, now that this email is about Yum and Adept I'd like to confirm that using Synaptic in Kubuntu is OK. Or am I suppose to use Adept with Kubuntu?
And while on the subject of package managers; if I've been using Synaptic for a few months could I try Adept or will switching package managers mess up the system?
Thank you.
Brian

You can use any of the pkg managers without messing things.
Adept
Synaptic
Aptitude
Apt-get
Dpkg
and there's probably more.

Hi Brian!
You can use either!
Synaptic and Adept are just graphical frontends and both invoke the
same programs in the background, namely apt or aptitude. So it doesn't
matter if you switch between package managers, you can even use them
both at the same time!
Cheers!

Yes, this works if you know 'blah'. However, my initial install
(x86-64) would not run dynamically linked 32-bit apps. Is there any
way to know the package name to install is 'ia32-libs'? Google
finally told, but I couldn't figure out how to make the KUNBUNTU
system tell me this.

Synaptic was recommended to me, but it won't run without the gtk
libraries. My initial install (x86-64) didn't have them. What is the
scheme for finding out the package name here.

I came from OpenSuSE. I find Adept to be at least as good or better than
Yast/Yum. I have no problem finding the package I'm looking for. Of
course the package has to be in the repositories that you are using.
Any search depends on the users input to find something. Ask the wrong
question and you get the wrong answer. It might be the right answer for
the question, but not what your looking for.

1. Do synaptic & adept use apt-get or aptitude?
2. Its best not to mix aptitude and apt-get because aptitude has some package
tracking functionality that apt-get does not. As a result, it does a better
job of tracking dependencies that are installed with packages and removing
them if you remove that package, and no other depends on them. If you mix
the two, you may miss some of the benefits of aptitude.
3. You can run aptitude in the ncurses/pseudo-gui mode, or as a straight cli
mode. With the latter, aptitude is compatible with the apt-get commands.
