No, that's because apt does not work on multilibed systems, or placed differently it cannot cope with packages for different architetcures having the same name, like the two glibc packages for i386 and x86_64. You are right, ATrpms' documentations sucks, and the install instructions should make it clear that atrpms-kickstart is for i386 only (unless you drop HelixPlayer and openoffice). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
