Subject: Problems with apt-get

Hello,

After installing YDL 3.0 no possibilities to use apt-get for installing
additionals software.

Apt can't find the necessary listing files fo packages and sources

Regarding on apt config file I see that apt-get search for "base" files,
and on the http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com apt/3.0 all presents files are
prefixed "main".

I made a small "hack" of the file (/etc/apt/sources.list) replacing
"base" by "main".

naow apt-get grab the listing but I have new errors : cannot get
exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages, Could not get lock
/var/cache/apt/archives/lock, Unable to lock the download directory

Somebody had a idea ?

Thanks

Aris
