Hi guys,

I did build version 0.5.15lorg3.2 and I have out that into the CentOS-
Testing repo.

That does resolve apr-devel just fine.

I'll send out an e-mail to the CentOS-Devel list to have it tested and
move it into the CentOS-Extras repo soon.

Panu, thanks for all the great updates to apt :)

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
