Trying to install apt so I can play with apt4rpm.

[root at pelican lib]# cd /var/tmp/apt
[root at pelican apt]# ls
apt-0.3.19CVS-20011212.i386.rpm  libapt-0.3.19CVS-20011212.i386.rpm
apt4rpm-0.1.1-1.i386.rpm         XML-Simple-1.06-1.i386.rpm
[root at pelican apt]# rpm -Uhv *.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
	librpm.so.0 is needed by apt-0.3.19CVS-20011212

[root at pelican apt]# ls -l /usr/lib/librpm.*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       366990 Sep  6  2001 /usr/lib/librpm.a
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          716 Sep  6  2001 /usr/lib/librpm.la
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Oct 26 05:52 /usr/lib/librpm.so -> librpm-4.0.3.so


I believe I have the latest version of rpm:

[root at pelican apt]# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.0.3-1.03

And the apt rpms I just downloaded on Friday so they should be current.

How can I get around this dependency?    I tried symbolically linking
librpm-4.0.3.so to librpm.so.0 the installing with --nodeps but then
apt-get fails:

[root at pelican apt]# apt-get
apt-get: relocation error: /usr/lib/librpm.so.0: undefined symbol: chroot_prefix


Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thanks.
