Hello, I know this problem has been encountered and a solution exists somewhere. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it, I'm going to go blind if I install my machine again :)
I'm following Jarod's howto on a clean FC3 machine. Running apt-get dist-upgrade wants to remove, rpm, apt-get among other packages. This leaves me unable to continue after performing the apt-get dist-upgrade. Without the apt-get or rpm packages on my system I'm essentially dead in the water... Any information on how to get around this would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the output from apt-get dist-upgrade. Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
