I'm currently in the midst of struggling through this myself, and I thought I figured out something that works by putting together two suggestions from different posts by Axel on the atrpms mailing list. In step 5 of Jarod's guide, in between the apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, I tried this: apt-get install apt atrpms-package-config fedora-release beecrypt This seemed to complete ok, so then I did an apt-get dist-upgrade, which got to the point of figuring out how much space it needed to install the downloaded packages on the file system, and then said "E: Error while running transaction" when it got up to xorg-x11-tools. At least apt-get is still there, but now I'm stuck. -Jerry _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
