The kernel, dev and filesystem share directories.

Again, apparently up2date does not like that swh-plugins and blop share
a directory (/usr/lib/ladspa)

Same with all these, /usr/lib/ladspa is shared by those packages (ie:
each package "owns" the same directory - that is fine and legal). 

I don't think I can solve this, looks to me like a bug in up2date
handling of apt repositories. Have you tried to use yum, which
supposedly has better support in up2date?

Those conflicts should not exist, the proof being that rpm does not
complain at all about them (or apt or yum, AFAIK). The ladspa plugin
spec files and packaging are my doing, but the kernel spec file was
initially a copy of the original redhat spec file used for their kernel,
so what it does is exactly what redhat does (with the exception of the
versions of the kernel and assorted patches, of course). 

Sorry to not have better news, and thanks a lot for taking the time to
make a detailed report of what was happening. Again, looks like the
directory processing in up2date for apt repositories has a bug.

My reasoning for turning that off (I may change that in the future - it
makes less and less sense) was to try to minimize the direct hits of
search engines on the rpms themselves. Otherwise somebody searches for a
given package name, finds it, downloads it in isolation and most
probably can't get it to install or even work, if it by chance installs.
Most packages only work if you install them with the rest of the Planet
CCRMA system...
