Aptget question

I am trying to get aptget going on my home machine (8.0), and then trying to get synaptic, but so far no go. I am caught in a catch 22. I installed the version recommended (0.5.4), and libapt-0.3.19, but aptget complains apt obsoletes libapt. apt-get install synaptic doesn't work because it needs libapt-pkg.so.3.1, which is in libapt. apt-get install libapt says it would uninstall apt, apt devel, and apt-howto. Should I just install .3.19 version of apt? -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
