So Crawford, where were you when I was giving Kevin all that bad advice? ;-)
I wonder if you need to update your apt. I noted here http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/ that it is up into 0.69.3 on this site. I am not even going to try to sort this out though if yum is better unless you want to persist with trying apt. As far as I know you can go ahead and stop the download by stopping the process and then run apt-get update and apt-get install (which should update apt if it needs it also) and if it doesn't finish off k3b, you can always do apt-get install k3b again. Crawford, can he apt-get install Yum?
