Fernando:  Thank you.  I stumbled across the command to identify duplicates:
doublepackages=`rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\n' | sort | uniq -d | grep -v ^kernel`
[root at localhost apt]# echo $doublepackages
glibc gpg-pubkey gstreamer-plugins librsvg2
Then I ran:
[root at localhost apt]# rpm -q -a glibc
glibc-2.3.5-10
glibc-2.3.2-101.4
[root at localhost apt]#
and added them to the apt.conf file as duplicates allowed for now.

I'm not sure how to get the apt-check list of applications cleaned up, 
but shortened the list to what you see below.

[root at localhost apt]# apt-get install planetccrma-core
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
planetccrma-core is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or 
specify a solution).
[root at localhost apt]#

At this point, I have my data files on another computer, so, we have the 
option of using the install CDs to do a fresh install, rather than clean 
up what's above.  What would you do?
Thanks,
Tom
