[PlanetCCRMA] Apt problems

[William M. Quarles]

Fernando,

Thanks for the information.  I see that kind of came up earlier this 
week, but I didn't go back to see the much older message before I sent 
this.  Stupid me.

Below is my Up2Date configuration file (/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, 
minus some earlier comments in the file).  It has both Apt and Yum 
examples.  I've put blackslashes in where Mozilla Mail wrapped the 
lines.  Hopefully your e-mail client doesn't try to wrap it more, or 
we'll be in a bigger mess.  BTW, I've tried ftp rather than http on 
other computers and it seems to also work when the server is set up for 
both services.

I use three different Apt reopsitories, and there other two never caused 
file conflicts.  The Planet one always comes up with conflicts when two 
different packages install the same directory (which is meaningless, but 
I can't bypass it).  Note that for my Fedora Core 1 updates I was using 
a Fedora mirror rather than the actual RedHat server: faster downloads 
and no corrupted packages.  I could probably reorder them all for 
preference in downloads, but I haven't bothered to.  (Besides, the 
Fedora Core updates are no longer maintained, so who cares?)  Here we go:
