Got it, but rpm claimed it was already installed so I used the --force 
to freshen it.

apt-get upgrade returns this, a mess I made several months ago because 
stuff couldn't find the pango(s) that was installed.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

And what will the -f option do, the manpages are in an odd location 
I've not added to my $MANPATH settings yet.

So I ran apt-get update and got this surprise!

Apparently that version of apt, downloaded from freshrpm.org, built 
supposedly for FC1, thinks its running on, or is built, for a RH8 
system!  Humm, no files dated today in /etc/apt either:
---------------

But, its exactly as is contained in the packages according to mc.

Since the version isn't in the apt/apt.conf file, apparently I have 
something leftover from rh8 telling it its still rh8, but what would 
that be?

Humm, /etc/apt/sources.list does NOT contain a group of entries for 
FC1 - Yarrow!  WTF?

I repeat, I got these apt-get rpms from freshrpms.net half an hour 
ago, from a link labeled for FC1 on top of the web page.  Broken link 
obviously, so where *are* the good ones?

Thanks Serge, any clues are appreciated.  And I'll go fix my $manpath.
