Hi Mike,
I feel for you! I just want you to know that you're not the only one with this problem recently. I did an apt-get dist-upgrade on Friday that completely blew away the FC1 installation on my laptop. It destroyed the rpm databases, removed synaptic, and demolished X11. I had all of the exact error messages that you did. I messed with it for a long time, checked for info on line and in chat rooms, and finally gave it up and installed FC3. I probably could have spent days or weeks figuring this one out. Sometimes it helps to know when to give up.
Hi,
I am running FC1 with ATrpms packages. I have two problems, but the second is the most serious at the moment, since I can't do anything related to rpm or apt-get. Thank you for any help!

1) I was fooling around with ALSA tonight and uninstalled the kernel-module-alsa package. I tried reinstalling it (also the alsa-kmdl package), but got an error like this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kernel-module-alsa-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl: Depends: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl but it is not installable
I have /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.at. I tried making a symlink to it named vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl, but that didn't help. What gives? Even if I fix problem #2 below, I still have no ALSA.
2) I did an apt-get dist-upgrade tonight and now my rpm database seems to be hosed. Tried finding a solution on Google but didn't come up with much. Here's what I get why I try to do anything related to rpm:
# rpm -qa | grep kmdl
rpmdb: Berkeley DB library configured to support only DB_PRIVATE environments
error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
