That sounds like a writer with Debian experience and a feeling Apt iseasier than RPM. There are some things in RPM that are quite odd. Ithink Apt is a simpler method. I have ubuntu-7.10 loaded and it uses Aptand it seems to update as well as RPM.

It is not really correct to compare apt to rpm, a better comparisonwould be to compare apt to yum (or at a lower level rpm to dpkg).
