attempt to install APT RPM FC2


another newbie question.... I am on my second build of FC2... irreversable problems with another hard drive and cooling add ons forced me to reinstall.

I wanted to get APT so i can install synaptic so i can manage packages and get Xine... so i can backup my system!

I installed it before, but didn't follow my own directions or copy down what commands i used!

This is what i typed in and its results...

[rageagainstcomputer@localhost rageagainstcomputer]$ rpm -Uvh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrp...c2.fr.i386.rpm
Retrieving http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrp...c2.fr.i386.rpm
warning: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.wdcGWe: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b
error: can't create transaction lock
[rageagainstcomputer@localhost rageagainstcomputer]$

do i need a special code or what is going on?!? ANY HELP is GREATLY appreciated!
