Debian guy trying to figure out apt-rpm

[Derek Reid]

Hi Nigel,

I actually built it from source but I just got the FC6 rpm version
installed.  I'm still getting the "E: no data in /etc/apt/rpmpriorities"
error when doing an 'apt-get update' though.

What do you have in your /etc/apt/rpmrepositories?  Also, what's your
yum config file look like?  I've populated it with the three main repos
you pointed out that live in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ but still can't
get rid of the rpmrepositories error.

Thanks,

Derek
