Install apt For Fedora
apt is the packaging system used on Debian. Since it cares much better for package dependencies than rpm it would be nice if we could use it on our new Fedora system. This would save us a lot of hassle. Fortunately, apt has been ported to a lot of rpm based distributions, and is also available for Fedora Core 4 (you will love it... :-)). In this tutorial I will use a mixture of Fedora's yum and apt, because not all yum packages are available for apt and vice versa.
yum install apt
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list. It should contain the following lines
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/4/i386 tupdates
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms
In the last line, rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/ 1/i386 core updates freshrpms, the 1 is not an error or typo! This is the repository that has the imap package which we are going to install soon! So do not change these lines!
Run
apt-get update
Import The GPG Keys For Software Packages
rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY*
apt-get install (some software )
--
