SL 3.0.x and 4.x both have apt for rpms.  But apt does not do well with
multiarch releases and it is not maintained as much as it used to be so we
took it out for SL 5.

apt-rpm's maintainer is rather active and was even recently employed
by Red Hat. If you thing there are issues with apt, please report it
to him, perhaps even through bugzilla.redhat.com (although they will
first land on my table, but perhaps the Auto-Cc in bugzilla will work)

Did not know this.


FWIW apt and multiarch work fine on i386/x86_64 and ppc/ppc64
systems. I've heard about issues on ia64 some time back, but don't
know if they were fixed or not.


Last time I had tested it did not work. What version of apt supports multiarch?
