Hi.
I am trying to install apt in FC3 x86_64, and I encountered a
problem "multiple versions rpms"... I can not find the same problem in this mailing list... so please allow me to ask here. The procedure I did:
1. Downloaded and installed http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/3/apt/apt-0.5.15cnc6-1.1.fc3.fr.x86_64.rpm

2. set the /etc/apt/sources.list as
   rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/x86_64 core updates freshrpms

3. run "apt-get update", then it showed me a lot of duplicated rpms... like:

----------------
W: There are multiple versions of "hal" in your system.

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^hal$"; };

To disable these warnings completely set:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";

W: There are multiple versions of "lm_sensors" in your system.

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^lm_sensors$"; };

To disable these warnings completely set:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";
----------------

4. If I ignore it, tried to install lynx by "apt-get install lynx", then
unmet dependencies are shown, and it suggessted me to run "apt-get -f
install"...

A quick search in google, it seems in
http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html, the note for apt is:
At this time, apt is *not* biarch compatible, but I am told this is being
* addressed. 

My question is, does apt work in FC3 x86_64 ? 

Thanks in advance.
