apt-rpm sounds great! > http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat-7.1/apt/ Ah ha, so it actually works with 7.2 too, I see. I fetched http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat-7.2/apt/ and changed /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the link you gave, above. Now it looks like I need to sort out some internal problems: E: There are two or more versions of the package 'raidtools' installed in your system, which is a situation APT can't handle cleanly at the moment. I didn't know that! # rpm -qa | grep raidtools raidtools-0.90-24 raidtools-0.90-23 I hate to think what it'll say when it sees what my (working) XFree86 package is like, due to misuse of rpm during an upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2: # rpm -qa | grep -i xfree | sort XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.1.0-25 XFree86-4.1.0-25 XFree86-4.2.0-52.01 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.1.0-25 XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.1.0-25 XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.1.0-25 XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-52.01 XFree86-compat-libs-4.0.3-2 XFree86-devel-4.1.0-25 XFree86-jpfonts-2.1-24 XFree86-libs-4.1.0-25 XFree86-libs-4.2.0-52.01 XFree86-tools-4.1.0-25 XFree86-twm-4.1.0-25 XFree86-xdm-4.1.0-25 XFree86-xfs-4.1.0-25 XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-52.01 luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
