If you want to generate such messages in english (for posting them)
try

export LANG=C
export LC_ALL=C

in the respective terminal. Not necessary for this one, though. :)

The reason for the upgrade fault is that ATrpms' packages are built
against RHEL. So they replace redhat-release with a config-less
redhat-release package and a split-off config package like
{redhat,atrpms,medley}-package-config.

As redhat-release is one of the very few packages a clone does not
coincide with RHEL, these mechanisms do not work here. You would have
to give apt some input like perhaps

apt-get install apt smart yum redhat-release medley-package-config sl-release-

For instance that should introduce a couple of depsolvers around a
config pulling in from sl+sl-updates+atrpms+dag+dries.

I would have to check on the replacements made in SL to see whether
this can be streamlined, but I hope the above will work for now.
