Dpup Synaptic Testing
Installed Synaptic pet on fresh full install of Dpup 4.82 Beta 5 with only service pack and Google Chrome added. Synaptic pet installed fine.
Checked repositories and reloaded. Installed Kazehakase browser thru Synaptic and still getting error messages. Kazehakase works but still no menu entry, so I added one again by modifying existing entry.
Will attempt to install more apps later this afternoon.

Fresh frugal install with patch, everything worked except can't get program to actually run. Not a big deal for me, just testing.
nopubkey.png is an error I always get after apt-get update.
changes.png, download.png and applied.png are self-explanatory.
Last screen is all the python stuff I found where the hydrogen executable was, I guess python and puppy don't get along, as would be IRL.

[b]Tahr Pup 6 on desktop, Lucid 3HD on lappie[/b]
I've been getting the "nopubkey.png" error as well.
Installed Streamtuner, runs but getting error messages.Dpup made a menu entry for it this time.
Also installed Ace of Penguins and other games. Installed and run fine......had to make all of the menu entries though.Getting pretty good at it.

To get rid of the nopukey error just run this in console
just run
The Streamtuner error are my fault, the two libs that it is looking for should be there, but I forgot to include them in APTapt-get install debian-backports-keyring
just run
Sorryapt-get install libffi5
and then
apt-get install libtag1c2a

Sounded like a great idea, until I got the error messages......
Got errors on all three but only posting one screenie, all looked similar.Well, maybe two.......

Was travelling for a few days so could not jump in earlier. Downloaded latest apt/synaptic yesterday, could not test because my wireless card went dead (Eee PC 701SD, fix is tempestuous' special madwifi driver for some Atheros chipsets and the 2.6.30.5 kernel).
Anyway, decided to test with apt-get (which I prefer to Synaptic) and with a simple package that would involve few dependencies, no menu entry etc. and whcih I had already compiled in Puppy before. Given those criteria went for installing dovecot-imapd. Apt-get correctly identified one of the dependencies (dovecot-common). During install, following errors were reported:
These errors repeated on every subsequent install of anything. On the first install there were also some python error messages which (sorry) did not record.
However apt-get had not correctly identified all dependencies. Turns out I also needed libpq (libpq5 deb package), mysql-common and libmysqlclient (libmysqlclient15off, the 16 version refused to install). I installed all three individually using apt-get and manually searching for the package names online.
After this dovecot is up and running (using my old config files, in the new positions, from my 4.1.2 install). Have not really tested it fully yet but will do so.
All in all seems like things almost there - thanks as always Guy!
NB: Interestingly PPM also did not identify those three dependencies - and instead wanted to install a bunch of unnecessary stuff (libPAM etc.)... but it did correctly identify the need for ucf, which apt-get seems to be complaining about...

Ok, tried to install claws mail. Some dependencies appeared to be correctly identified (at least as I remembered them from compiling - i.e. libetpan and libaspell, among others). But once again other dependencies were missing - when I tried to run claws, I was told that "libpisock.so.9" cannot be found; trying to install libpisock9 package in apt-get produced the message that it is already the newest version. The same happened when I tried to install ucf. gposil, possibly apt's installed package database includes packages that are not actually installed? Maybe that's why it's not correctly identifying dependencies?
Incidentally apt-get produced some more install errors:
This would seem to indicate that another package - the dictionaries one - is not actually installed.
Then went on to install imagemagick, just to get the python error messages, and here they are:
Edit: Managed to get claws running (or at least starting, have not tested fully yet), but had to install several other dependencies first. Apt-get refused to install libpisock and liblockfile, saying that the latest versions were already installed, so I installed them using PPM. Apt-get did however correctly install libcurl3-gnutls (it claimed to be upgrading it) and gnutls-bin (the last may not have been a dependency). After that claws-mail started. Again, results seem consistent with apt thinking packages are installed when they're not...

Since it is about 2 am here, this is my last try tonight.
Wiped the partition and reinstalled Dpup 482 Beta 5. Installed the service pack and the apt/Synaptic pet and nothing else. Launched Synaptic and reloaded.
I've installed NetSurf, Streamtuner and Kazehakase so far.They all run but I'm still getting the same errors as in my above post.When I enter those commands in the terminal I'm also getting the "already the newest version" message as well.

James C - you could try (when you wake up in the morning ) installing those packages using PPM and/or apt-get --reinstall (have not tried the latter myself yet).
Incidentally I also got the public key error but ignored it,a s I have had that in the past with sidux stuff and never saw any negative consequences.

aqualung needs liblrdf
Seems aqualung is also missing a dependency, liblrdf, which is not there, but apt claims it is.
On fresh dpup with patch: after apt-get install aqualung
As the library file was not on the disk, i wanted to install the lib, but it was already registered in apt.
thought i try reinstalling
having librdf0 installed, aqualung complained about the next missing lib.
did then same game for libsamplerate0, libwavpack1, liboggz1, libmodplug0 (libmodplug0c2), libavcodec51, libifp4, libraptor1.
After that aqualung runs fine, although with very very tiny fonts.

The only major problem I still have is getting the base installation database correct, so all the correct files are registered with apt. As flugwelpe has shown if you discover a library that is incorrectly assigned as installed, you just run apt-get --reinstall install xxxx.

I converted the pet to sfs.
Got the synaptic package manager in the menu.
Lost however 20MB of save space.
Decided to do a test and wanted to install samba server.
Things went wrong as I got error messages.
But I lost some more 50MB of save space.
Tried to uninstall what I had installed, but it wasn't easy to see what had be installed exactly. Uninstalled everything with samba in the name.
Things did uninstall and nothing from samba is installed, but I still have some 20MB save space lost somewhere.
Don't know how to find out for what.
Conclusion, it's not really for debutantes.
Like PPM it's not for people who try to save space in the space file in a frugal environment.
With pet packages there is at least a possibility to convert them to sfs.
Here I don't see in what way it can be done.
Hope this doesn't sound too negative.

APT/Synaptic was never going to be a happy match with a pupsave type environment. It creates large database entries and keeps a copy of every file you download/install, even if you later uninstall it. You can remove some of the bloat by going to /var/cache/apt and deleting the deb files from there, but it sort of defeats the purpose behind APT, ie re-installs and filesystem fixes.
I said from the outset that I thought that it would really only be viable on a full HDD install, more and more testers are discovering for themselves why I said that...(unless you can put up with large and fast growing pupsave files)

I think we all realize that, having apt-synaptic at all is a big addition to Puppy in general. Being able to boot 4.3.1 from anywhere is great, but Puppy is only 100meg from a purist point of view. Honestly I haven't spent much time with 4.3.1 since dpup beta4, I suppose I got used to Puppy and wanted more from it and dpup was it. Because of dpup I actually spend more time with Puppy on my home "production" box than I do with Windows now. (Work is a different story...) I have a 10gig pupsave on that machine, only because I can't see needing any more.I said from the outset that I thought that it would really only be viable on a full HDD install, more and more testers are discovering for themselves why I said that...(unless you can put up with large and fast growing pupsave files)
TL:DR Anyone who wants apt on Puppy shouldn't mind the extra bulk.

Just to report a success... decided to be ambitious, added in the packages.enlightenment.org lenny repository and used apt-get to install e17. Dependencies identified correctly excepting libXp6 which I installed using --reinstall. And, what do you know - voila - it works!
Yes, I know it's better to build E17 on the system, but the sources have defeated me five times in the last three weeks (including the recent snapshots). Very frustrating, will upload a dotpet whenever I manage to do it. But in the meantime - what's better than a one line command to install something that otherwise takes at least three hours of compiling?
