[PlanetCCRMA] apt broken after installing ATrpms?

Hi,

I finally decided to go ahead and install ATrpms over the top of my 
Planet install, but now whenever I run apt, apt-cache or synaptic I get

[root at sherka nev]# apt-get update
E: Could not open file /etc/apt/rpmpriorities - open (2 No such file or 
directory)
E: could not open package priority file /etc/apt/rpmpriorities

I do remember playing with apt's configuration files at some point but I 
thought I'd put them all back how they were.  There were several errors 
and warnings that appeared when doing apt-get update - the ones that 
seem relevant are:

   9:apt                    ########################################### 
[ 10%]

warning: /etc/apt/vendors.list created as /etc/apt/vendors.list.rpmnew
########################################### [ 12%]
Can't open /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory.

Anyway, the *.rpmsave and *.rpmnew files are there in /etc/apt -- should 
I just copy them so they have the right names and if so which ones?  Is 
this supposed to happen?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Nathaniel
