Hi,

it seems that I have some problems with dag's repository
concerning package dependence.

  rpm http://apt.sw.be redhat/el4/en/i386 dag 

Those problems arise when I try to install 'mediawiki' from
dag, I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mediawiki: Depends: php (>= 4.3.11) but 4.3.9-3.8 is to be
  installed
  E: Broken packages

So it seems that dag's repository is not fully 'supporting'
the SL repository!?

And I noticed some problems in conjunction with the
atrpms-packages and dag's repository. I used:

 rpm http://dl.atrpms.net el4-i386/atrpms stable

and tried to install 'synaptic'; similar unmet dependencies
are displayed:
 
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   synaptic: Depends: apt (= 1:0.5.15cnc7) but 0.5.15cnc6-9.SL is to be installed
             Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2
             Depends: rpm (= 4.4.1) but 4.3.3-9_nonptl is to be installed
 E: Broken packages

Apt tries to install the package from atrpms; the atrpms-packages are newer and
don't fit to SL and dag at all!?


And  I get one last problem with packages using 'system-config-packages'. I did
a minimal installation and used apt for the rest afterwards. Now, running
'system-config-packages' I tried to install the 'gnome desktop environment'
with the recommended packages. The installation fails due to
dependency-problems with 

 ('openssh', '3.9p1-8.RHEL4.4')
 ('dbus', '0.22-12.EL.2')

but both packages are installed. When I install most of the recommended gnome
packages by hand with apt, 'system-config-packages' does not recognize it!?

Would be nice, if anybody has any suggestions... maybe, I should try something
like fedora to get more packages!?

Greetings!
Fabian
