I updated my apt-get to the shrike version, but I keep running into this:...
Ign http://apt.freshrpms.net redhat/9/en/i385/os release Err http://apt.freshrpms.net redhat/9/en/i385/updates pkglist 404 Not Found
Fix your /etc/apt/sources.list. Easiest fix would be:
mv /etc/apt/sources.list.rpmsave /etc/apt/sources.list
[root@xxxxxxxxx programs]# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ethereal: Depends: libelf.so.0
ethereal-gnome: Depends: libelf.so.0
rpm2html: Depends: librpm-4.1.so
Depends: librpmdb-4.1.so
Depends: librpmio-4.1.so
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Remove rpm2html. Apt will not be able to fix it. You need to get a version of that package compiled for RHL 9.
After that, 'apt-get -f install'
So, it is still looking for librpm-4.1.so, even though I have updated> the apt-get package.
rpm2html depends on it, as did your old apt installation. Just as you needed to get a version of apt for RHL 9, you'll need a new copy of rpm2html (or remove it if you're not using it).
that, and, apparently the address I have for the> shrike packages is incorrect, although, I swear I got it right from freshrpms...
It's unlikely that your sources.list came from that updated package, since the host is no longer referred to as apt.freshrpms.net.
I refuse to use -f. I don't want to force and break the system.
-f isn't "Force", it's "Fix my broken system".
