This is surely because your apt and yum sources differ.
Yum is trying to get the headers from these files for an aventula 
upgrade but fails to get them and complaints.

I have just fixed this in Yum and will try to see if I can put 
yum's sources into apt's sources.list in order to be able to select new 
packages via synaptic.

The sintax is more or less the same,  you can also take a glance at the 
repository's structure using the ftp client of your choice.

Another way of seeing in which repository the needed files are is using
http://rpmseek.com and doing a search for the file.
Once you find it you only need to edit your yum.conf and add the URI.

Nope, it's not a question of wheter the files  are installed or not, it' 
a header issue.

In the worst case you can install directly from the link in rpmseek if 
you use konqueror (I cn't remember if Firefox can do this too), or even 
install directly from the URI:

	rpm -Uvh http://where.the.heck/the.package.is/package.rpm

I have read in the apt-rpm page [https://moin.conectiva.com.br/AptRpm] 
that you can install any random remote URL with apt-get install:

There was also a reference about installing local files, this would be 
nice to use with rsync.
