Many thanks for your suggestion, which has resolved the problem. Now to stop rpm being updated again to the latest version, where apt becomes broken. It's easy with Debians apt, because I can put a hold on the package, which stops it being updated. I have to use pinning on Fedora's apt-rpm, to stop packages being updated, as the hold option is not available. Anyway, I'll work through that problem. Thanks again for your help, which has resolved a problem.
