    In general I find it unwise to bootstrap an update to my update 
tool.  (The exception is "rpm -Uvh rpm*.rpm".  But then, in that case 
what choice do I have?)  I normally use synaptic to update my (FC4) 
system, but if I find a new version of apt or synaptic in the list, I 
drop out and use yum to update those packages, then restart synaptic to 
repeat the upgrade.
