I have a big problem here!!

I downloaded: apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm
(dont know if this is the right apt-get for fedora core 2)

anyway.. i tried to install it and get this message: Packages Not Found

librpm-4.2.so
librpmdb-4.2.so
librpmio-4.2.so

i tried a couple of google searches on those files and to this problem. but cant seem to find the right answer

Can someone please help?

You probably have the wrong version of apt for FC2 . You should have good results doing a google for
dag fedora apt rpm
or
pbone fedora apt rpm

They have FC1 and FC2 rpms which are not always interchangeable.

Now i have a bigger problem i think

i installed an apt-get rpm i think it's the right one
but something aint right, take a look below

[root@localhost root]# apt-get update
E: Lists directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing.
E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
E: could not open package priority file /etc/apt/rpmpriorities

[root@localhost root]#

and when i write: apt-get help
the help file comes up as it should.

if try to install a file (example below)

[root@localhost root]# apt-get install mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm
Reading Package Lists... Done

E: Couldn't find package mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm

[root@localhost root]# apt-get install /home/lordrain/Install-Filer/Film/ mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package
[root@localhost root]#

any ideas what to do here?

When you use apt-get to install a package, you just use the package name. First, see if you can set the mirrors to places near you or ones you just plain want to use with the command: apt-get mirror-select
Then I would re-run the command: apt-get update
Now when you want to install a package like mplayer you would use the command:
apt-get install mplayer which returns
E: Couldn't find package mplayer

Unfortunately, that means you are not going to have much luck using apt-get to install mplayer unless you find a site ( apt-get mirror-select ) which has it.

I also install a couple of other tools which are pretty handy for installing most stuff....
apt-get install synaptic
and
apt-get install yum

Synaptic is a nice GUI tool for managing apt-get in a visual way.

Yum is another command line tool for installing packages. It is run with the command:
yum update or type yum --help for more options.
