Dear Behlul Kahyaoglu,

First things first... The patched package was made for Ubuntu Hardy (8.04 LTS). I am sorry that I have
not made this clear. A quick look at your error messages reveals that you are using Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10)
- synaptic is looking for libapt-pkg-libc6.8-6.so.4.6, which is the version used in Intrepid, not Hardy. This
is probably why you had problems.

So, let's get you out of this situation.

Do the following:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_amd64.deb
$ sudo su -
# cd /tmp
# dpkg --force-all -i ./apt_0.7.14*.deb
# exit
$ ...

Hopefully, this will fix your system. If it does not, we can make an appointment and talk over IRC,
which would be a much better way for me to help you.

Regards,

M. Vefa Bicakci
