apt-get package management problem
 
I'm posting here on behalf of an administrator who has a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server. Apparently the server has apt-get installed, I'm suspecting what's being used is apt-rpm. Basically, his sources.list file is incorrect so trying to update or install packages results in an error. Here is a log of commands I asked him to run and show the output of:

Code:
simetrical@loki [~]# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
rpm http://apt.ev1servers.net apt/redhat/enterprise_3/en/i386 os updates extras
simetrical@loki [~]# sudo apt-get update
simetrical, please enter your password:
Err http://apt.ev1servers.net apt/redhat/enterprise_3/en/i386 release

simetrical@loki [~]# sudo apt-get upgrade

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  MyODBC: Depends: libmysqlclient.so.10 but it is not installable
  MySQL-python: Depends: libmysqlclient.so.10 but it is not installable

          Depends: perl(bmversion.pl) but it is not installable

  perl-DBD-MySQL: Depends: libmysqlclient.so.10 but it is not installable
  php-mysql: Depends: libmysqlclient.so.10 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Seems it is not a local problem, but something to do with the box you are trying to connect to.

A traceroute from here to the host, cannot see anything past the 4th node - of which 3 of them are local routers...

If you think sources.list is incorrect you should try to put another repository in file.Not sure about apt-rpm but on Debian exists tool netselect-apt which can automatic set your repositories.
Of course backup your /etc/apt/sources.list first and replace it with new file which netselect-apt made and do apt-get update and check result.
Maybe documentaion can help you

Yep, just add a valid repository and that should do it.

Better yet - use yum. :D
