Yum is working ok on F8, but Apt that I prefer to use, appears to be broken on
F8. See below.

There's a bit more output from when I first installed Apt, and Synaptic, then
ran apt-get update for the first time. See below.
# apt-get update

And so on, as the first bunch of output above.
If anyone else is using Apt, or would like to try it, I would appreciate
feedback before I file a bugreport on Apt.
