Of course, I have few repositories configured in apt-get/synaptic
(dries, ATrpms, freshrpms, DAG, livna, macromedia, gnugadu) and use
it
extensively
I suspect that's the problem.
Some of those repositories will replace packages installed by Fedora,
and that's when your liklihood of getting problems increases.
fedora and livna repositories do not replace fedora core packages, but
some of those others will (I believe freshrpms does for example). I
generally recommend against adding repositories that replace packages
installed by the OS. In fact - I wish rpm checked the vendor string and
required a force to upgrade a OS vendor package with a non OS vendor
package.
