Well, hrm, don't know how to make it ignore the current dependency
situation. Not sure you can?
If you want it to update evolution, which is a ximian product.. you'll
have to reinclude ximian of course.
---
This is a fine package, apt4rpm, but far from perfect. I updated my
system (excluding base) and after d/l 76 megs of data, then issuing
apt-get install evolution, it still doesn't load.
According to Ximian support pages, I've got a fubared bonobo setup. So
it is recomendeed for me to remove evolution, bonobo, bonobo-configure,
blah blah blah and reinstall.
Will see when I get a chance to do this.

The sources.list took a little tweaking for me.
Here is what I have:
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/7.3-i386 update kde gnome xfree86 mozilla ximian apt4rpm security
(well, that is all on one line in the file /etc/apt/sources.list
Thanks lots. It's working somewhat now (though I changed it to omit ximian). The only problem is now that every time I try to install a package it complains about a host of dependency problems. Is there any way to get it to ignore the present state of the system (neccesary for some parts like Mozilla 0.99) and update something like evolution that has a lot of dependencies?

The problem is that it says it wants to delete a lot of packages, including ones I use, in order to resolve dependency problems. Part of why I wanted to switch to apt is that I wouldn't have to deal with rpm's dependency hell. It seems that apt has even less flexability, if someone could tell me how to get it to work without deleting half my browsers and all of the KDE3 beta and Qt3 files I'd appreciate it.
