Synaptic for Fedora Core 4????

[braveerudite]

Is there a point and click add/remove application (program) like Synaptic for Fedora?.... I installed Fedora 4 last night and it seems like it didnt come with no other than the default good for nothing add/remove Application thingy. I can only add or remove default installation programs but not 3rd party programs.

You can use Yumex. Its a gui for yum.
open a terminal and type yum install yumex

Dries synaptic rpm

Synaptic is there...but currently it has some problems:

# apt-get install synaptic
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. Blahblah... <cut>

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
synaptic: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

If you disable all of the third-party repos, and onlly extras, you will find synaptic! It is synaptic and apt available. type su

yum install synaptic
the dependency will be apt (which is available)

I did install synaptic from the extras repo but synaptic is not running the way it was in FC3 , it only lists what you have installed already , not everything that can be installed from the repos .. I am not sure if i am the only one experiencing that problem ..

[robghealey]

Synaptic in FC4, you will have to add the repos yourself. That is all. I had to do this with FC3 as well. There might have been some in fc3, but not the ones that I liked....

yumex is not showing the current version when showing upgrades available like synaptic does. It makes it difficult to decide what versions are being upgraded from. Is there a way to display this?

I've only one repository which has everything that I want in my /etc/apt/sources.list.d which is freshrpms.list .. and here is the content:

# Name: FreshRPMS
# URL: http://ayo.freshrpms.net/

### Fedora Core
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net/ fedora/linux/4/i386 freshrpms core extras updates

You can download from here http://dag.wieers.com/packages/apt/ this apt
apt-0.5.15cnc6-4.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm
It has already configured repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ like this
atrpms.list dag.list dries.list freshrpms.list newrpms.list os.list
