How to install apt-get on a busybox embedded system

aptbusybox

My embedded system is for sh4 CPU. The debian distribution may get on http://www.si-linux.co.jp/pub/debian-sh/lenny-sh4/

I get the apt*.deb and extract the data.tar.gz.
After setup the /etc/apt/sources.list, I could do 'apt-get update'.
But it missing dependency when I try to run 'apt-get install ntpdate'.
Is there any method to let apt-get ignore some base packages?
Because those package is build by my original embedded system.(eg. busybox).

Does your system have "dpkg" installed? If so, installing the .deb package is as simple as:

dpkg -i my_package.deb

If dpkg is NOT installed, then I'm afraid this won't be a simple task, as apt-get depends on dpkg for most of its operations.
