[PlanetCCRMA] apt-get dist-upgrade problem

[Jim Ruxton]

Thanks Brian,

I'm still having the same problem Thomas is having. apt-get is trying to 
install a package that is already installed . In my case it is openssl . 
Is the best way to get the rpmdatabase back in sync to manually (ie. rpm 
-e ) the offending package and let apt-get re-install?
