There is a port of apt that uses the rpm libs, so you couldn't get rid
of rpm in a direct way like that, even though typing "apt" would replace
typing "rpm".

But your book is probably a bit out of date, yum definitely has
"replaced" rpm in the "what you type" sense for most uses, even though
it too has been using the rpm libs.  But it seems there is an intention
to replace some or all of the rpm lib implementation with a python one,
so it may go all the way.
