[nmglug] Installing apt on RH8

[Tim Emerick]

I'm having some difficulties installing apt on a rh8.0 server at work.  I've
come to love debian but converting the old rh8 machine to debian is a task at
best.  So, I've decided the next best thing is to install apt on the RH
machine and use the fedora.us apt repository.  I've tried following the
instructions on installing apt at http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO but
am running into dependency errors (which is why I love apt so much).  Here
are the files I've downloaded so far and the dependency errors I get when
installing.  Thanks in advance to any advice anybody can offer.
