I'm trying to add apt-get package manager to LFS (LINUX FROM SCRATCH) system. I have found a solution explaining how to 'compile apt-get and dpkg ' for LFS. But it's very old and unusable. I searched for apt-get source code and found it on debian.org . It is Debian version of apt. I have downloaded apt-0.8.10.3.deb package and extracted its contents to the root directory of LFS. When my LFS system boots up and I type apt-get, this error is shown: E: Unable to determine a suitable packaging system type. 1. How can I add apt-get to LFS and get it working? 2. What does the above error mean?
