Apt for Mandrake

[Asheville Joe]

Hey.  Now there's a version of apt for Mandrake!  It appears to be 
experimental, but I sure want to try it!  I found it at ftp.nluug.nl  
and tried to install it on 9.1.

Got the dependency blues!  This is what happened:

[root at localhost installs]# rpm -i apt*
error: failed dependencies:
        libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5.so.3.3   is neede
        librpm-4.2.so   is needed by apt-0.5.5
        librpmdb-4.2.so   is needed by apt-0.5
        librpmio-4.2.so   is needed by apt-0.5
[root at localhost installs]#

I don't know enough to know if I should try to get these packages or not.  I don't want to install stuff that might break my system.  I need to be sure rpm will work (which is 3 of them).  Th other looks apt specific, so I'm not so woried about it.

Help appreciated.

Joe
