[PlanetCCRMA] apt-get conflict resolution suspect?

Fernando,
Thanks for your help. Here are some comments on your comments:
I think the cdda2wav and cdrecord conflicts arise, as you suggest, from
when I was getting xcdroast to work, so I have removed them for now.
There is no problem with man apt-get - the text in my message was a Copy
and Paste from my terminal window and man output is not logged to that!
The history that comes to mind re the ppp conflict is that I have made a
--nodeps install of mppe, following the instructions at
<http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-redhat-80.phtml>, which include
rpm -Uvh --nodeps ppp-mppe-2.4.0-4.i386.rpm
and involve editing /etc/modules.conf to change the line
alias char-major-108 ppp
to
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
I don't feel competant to make any changes to the pptp client stuff.
Here is the apt-get check output, after removing the obsoletes:
[root@Merlin root]# rpm -e cdda2wav
[root@Merlin root]# rpm -e cdrecord
[root@Merlin root]# apt-get check
Reading Package Lists... Done
Collecting File Provides... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
kernel#2.4.18-14@i686: Conflicts: ppp (<= 2.3.15)
kernel#2.4.18-17.8.0@i686: Conflicts: ppp (<= 2.3.15)
kernel#2.4.18-18.8.0@i686: Conflicts: ppp (<= 2.3.15)
kernel#2.4.18-19.8.0@i686: Conflicts: ppp (<= 2.3.15)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
John
