I see, you have the old apt and synaptic versions. You have to update
all three rpms at the same time or let apt handle it. You could say
(after downloading things manually - replace the *'s with the complete
version numbers):

  rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.4* apt-devel-0.5.4* synaptic*

Or:
  apt-get update
  apt-get install apt apt-devel synaptic

The sources.list file is common to both versions. The apt.conf file for
apt 0.5.4 is slightly different from the one for the older 0.3.19, but I
think the differences will just trigger some warning messages, no big
deal.
