Well, I'll be surprised to hear you got apt working with RH9. I'm
guessing that more likely you got and installed apt-rpm later without
Red Hat's assistance, in which case you should be familiar with the
sources.list file that apt-rpm uses (if it's like in Debian, APT's alma
mater, it will be under /etc/apt/). Please look at the file and see what
sources you are getting the packages from. the packages you get depend
on the sources you chose there, not with the fact you have RH9.
Either that, or there is a bug in apt-rpm and the natural answer is
of course to use a real GNU/Linux system, like Debian.
