Two things make me think that: 1) In the set of enabled repositories, only the apt package in "extras" provides 'libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2'. 2) Yum seems to ignore the installed apt package and its provides, which in this thread has been described as a bug. I hope we agree that it should see the installed apt package *if* it provides libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2 already. > $ rpm -q apt ; rpm -ql apt | grep libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0 > apt-0.5.15cnc6-53.4.rhfc3.at > /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0 > /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0.1.1 The query is only half the truth as it is only lists actual files, not the provided virtual capabilities: $ rpm -q apt ; rpm -q --provides apt apt-0.5.15cnc6-12.r362 apt-mirrorselect config(apt) = 0:0.5.15cnc6-12.r362 libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2 apt = 0:0.5.15cnc6-12.r362 > The same is probably true of all other repos as well. > > IMO there is some other explicit dependency between fedora.us's > synaptic and apt. $ rpm -qR synaptic | grep -i apt config(synaptic) = 0.55.3-2 libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2 -- Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) - Linux 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 loadavg: 1.29 1.16 1.05
