I just installed apt. The install went w/o a hitch - however I have 
upgreded to kernel 2.4.20 and apt failed several OS >= tests. These were 
all looking for 2.2.0, 2.2.9, 2.4, etc. uname -a shows 2.4.20. What is 
confusing this dependency?? Did you have this??

I recently went through rpm dependency hell (with an issue other than 
PCMCIA) with RH 8 on a 600E and in the process discovered "apt" (from the Debian side of the tracks)
 and its associated GUI "synaptic" have been ported over to Red Hat.

No longer do I hunt and peck for rpm dependencies. Just select the package 
I want in the end and it grabs all of the required packages. It's also 
saved me in my attempt to make leaner system by removing a package without 
knowing its dependencies.

Both packages can be found at: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://freshrpms.net/apt/">http://freshrpms.net/apt/</a>
