Allrite, i checked with "rpm -q" and i actually do have two versions of
all those packages, in most cases one from PlanetCCRMA and one from
freshrpms.net. So i removed the older version of each pair with "rpm -e"
and apt-get doesn't complain anymore. Is there a way to configure
apt-get so it always uses "rpm -Uvh" instead of "rpm -ivh", so this
doesn't happen again?

Yeah, it was definitely intermittent. Look at what i got (before i
removed the duplicates) just by running "apt-get update" twice in
succession, without changing anything:

W: There are multiple versions of "fftw" in your system.
 
This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:
 
RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^fftw$"; };
 
To disable these warnings completely set:
 
RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";
 
W: There are multiple versions of "wxGTK" in your system.

-----many more duplicated package warnings cut out-----

To disable these warnings completely set:
 
RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";
 
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Why would it give all those warnings the first time and not the second
time? It made me think it had fixed the problem automatically, until it
started giving the warnings again. If it isn't an actual bug, it's
definitely not user-friendly.
