Although I've used apt to upgrade apt before, on one box today I had problems. I ended up having to use apt-get install apt to upgrade apt, and in the process it removed up2date and up2date-gnome. Can someone explain this? [root at leopard atanner]# rpm -qa apt apt-0.3.19cnc55-1sp_rh7x_realtime.5 [root at leopard atanner]# apt-get upgrade Processing File Dependencies...
