Like apt has no problems: 1.) dpkg-compabability issues 2.) apt checks *your* rpm database and not a repo 3.) non native package listings 4.) apt will install using: rpm -i --nodeps --noorder If you think any of the above are not current or serious quality issues that apt users complain about, run a google on any of them. Also, I can add more, but these are some of the more serious issues with apt (As I see it). We have a couple of debian boxes I maintain. So, don't tell me that apt won't hoark a debian installation. I know better. Also, I'm not going to get into other issues that regarding what wrong with debian (I've got a list) because this is the *FEDORA* mailing list, not the debian list.
