I just installed apt-0.5.15lorg3.94-3.fc9.i386 with fedora-package-config-apt-9-3.transitional.noarch and had no problem using the application. Have you run "apt-get clean" yet? FYI, apt supports rpm, yum, and metadata repositories so you should be able to add RPMFusion repositories to apt. (Note: My only complaint regarding RPMFusion is that the developers have yum blnders on when they created their install rpm. They negilected to provide for smart and apt.) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
