Dependencies are not fun.

It turns out that I had apparently done an apt-get update before
replacing the default sources.list file with the CCRMA one.  As a
result, apt knew about other sources and used them... removing apt,
apt-devel and synaptic, rm -rf /etc/apt /var/cache/apt and then
reinstalling apt and apt-devel and moving the CCRMA apt.conf and
sources.list into place *before* doing an apt-get update ... half
worked!

This time, several audio apps would not be installed because of the
apparent lack of libmad.  After a little more Googling, I tried

  apt-get install libmad

which insisted on removing a couple of existing RPMs (!), but otherwise
worked.  Then (at last!) 

  apt-get install planetccrma-audioapps

did its thing as expected.

I suspect that the Planet CCRMA at Home instructions work if (a)
followed EXACTLY and (b) used on a machine that has had nothing but
Fedora Core RPMs added to it.  Otherwise... life may get interesting.

Anyway, the audio apps are downloading now :-)  Apologies for asking the
list and then solving my own problem!
