apt-config broken dependency?

[Frank Cusack]

Hi

Just tried to get freshrpms going for FC6.  I want to use apt, just
because

- I like it :-)
- I'm used to it (no matter how simple yum may seem at first, it's
  obvious as time goes on I will have to invest the time to learn
  more yum details than I care to invest the time in)
- My other systems use apt

My point being, "use yum instead" isn't a really good answer for me.

OK, so the problem is that the apt package requires apt-config, however
there is no apt-config package.  I found that FC3 was the last apt package
that doesn't have an apt-config dependency.  Of course the apt-config
*program* is part of the apt package, but this doesn't meet the dependency.

Where am I supposed to get an apt-config package?  To work around it I
just created an empty apt-config package, but ISTM this should be supplied
by freshrpms.

Also, <http://ayo.freshrpms.net/> says to look at the latest sources.list
by going to <http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/branches/rpms/matthias/apt/>
but the files there seem way out of date.  (It was of course easy to
create a correct sources.list, just pointing out that the link may be old.)
