Post Apt on RH9 Failing


Im using apt on RH9 to perform a dist-upgrade, but Im getting the following errors:

libbonobo >= 2.4.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.2.2-1
E: Transaction set check failed
[root@home rpm]#
***

If I do an apt-get install libbonobo, it says libbonobo is already at the highest version (2.4.0).
A google search says libbonobo is at 2.5.1 (http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html), do I just need better apt repositories to reflect the recent versions? If so, which ones?


I havent been able to use apt to install/upgrade/or dist-upgrade anything for quite some time now, as Im running into all sorts of dependency problems. Will more recent repositories correct this? If I find one with highest-versions out there, will it do me any good?
At what point am I screwed?

Thanks.

Yep, the repositories you are using don't have the latest libbonobo. You can always try to download and install the latest (your error message is telling you that it needs 2.4.2 or greater: "libbonobo >= 2.4.2")

Try installing 2.4.2, then run apt-get again.

It's pretty common to not have the most current versions in repository. Annoying, but easily overcome.
