Obviously you have a big misconception about what's going on with apt
for RPM.  I would NEVER use it on my servers if it weren't checking the
GPG signatures and assuring that the packages were the official ones

What apt repository do you use?
Is it kept up to date w/ rh's updates?

How do you check the GPG sigs?

- for example:
'apt-get -d install kernel#<kernel-version>'

just downloads the package w/o unpacking;

http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/

discusses this gpg, but I still seem boggled.

Would you mind spoon feeding me?

I'm used to:
lfwelty-laptop:rh80-18> rpm -K kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0.i686.rpm
kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0.i686.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK


Thanks,


F.
