Are you behind a firewall? If so, does it allow ftp through? Is there a proxy involved? If you know the firewall or proxy isn't the problem, check the /etc/apt/sources.list file and add a couple more sources, maybe one ftp and one http. There are additional sources listed at apt.freshrpms.net or through a google search.

sorry, i'm still trying to get a handle on the ipchains/firewall stuff....will the above inable http and ftp's to work?
also the sources.list...how do we edit it? one of the lines already in the file is:
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/7.3/i386 os updates freshrpms
is the format this?
<what connection is looking for> <url> <description>
or can i just start adding url's to the sources.list flie?at the moment i just want to add three url's where the source file looks like.....
# Red Hat Linux 7.3
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/7.3/i386 os updates freshrpms
rpm-src http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/7.3/i386 os updates freshrpms
http://valhalla.freshrpms.net
http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/apt4rpm
but i don't know if that will work. plus i also don't know how i would use mirror's in the source file. (would i just stick a link to them in the file like anyother link?) anyway, any help would be appreciated on more url's for my source file (if these don't work) or any other suggestions... i'd appreciate. thnx guys.....

Apt-cache show is a command to get pkg info on the latest specs for a particular pkg header. If you are unable to update the headers (which is what apt-get update does) then it doesn't even know that there is a new kernel out there. You must get apt-get update to run first. Please post your EXACT sources.list as it appears in the /etc/apt directory.
Also to insure that apt is installed properly to begin with see if you get output from:
apt-cache search gaim |

Ok comment out the rpm-src and try to run apt-get update again. Those other 3 under 7.3 will not work as they are. We'll get to that. If if there is a pkg that you know you have try: apt-cache search <that_pkg_name>. Post back.

# apt-get update

still getting the same error. don't know why. do i just need some more entries... surely not just for some update command. if i was having problems upgrading maybe, but just a normal update (be it ever limited b/c of only one link) should atleast connect and try......
anymore ideas? i can't even get around to trying apt-cache commands, or trying to use apt for upgrades (kernel and php updates to be more specific as well as others) until i get this working.

well It looks like the syntax of your sources.list file is right. I am not sure what is causing your problem. Either, your apt is corrupt, your rpm (the program) is corrupt or you are having proxie problems. Can you ping ayo.freshrpms.net?

the rpm has nothing to do with just running a simple cache or update....if the problem was just in the upgrade i might think it was a problem with the rpm.....also i can ping ayo.freshrpms.net no problem, and i took the apt right off the freshrpm's site. all i did was just run rpm -U or something similar to the that on the apt files....
apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm
apt-devel-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm
apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.src.rpm
is there some sort of set up or config i've forgotten to setup or download or tweek? i'm kinda running out of options since i haven't done much too it...just trying to get the basics done...and i can ping the site no problem....anyway, thnx for your help. anymore is appreciated....

Well I had not determined your rpm program was fine as you said you would not run cache search until you had the other stuff figured out.
You did not need to RPM in the lower 2 rpms from freshrpms. The devel and the src rpms are for other matters not the endusre of apt. try this:
rpm -e apt
see if that gets rid of apt.
then re-d/l the rpm (JUST THE FIRST ONE) and issue:
#rpm Uvh apt*
and try to run apt-get update again.

ok it wouldn't let me "rpm -e apt" saying:
# rpm -e apt
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
apt = 0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2 is needed by apt-devel-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2
of couse when i tried to remove the devel file that was giving the dependencies i got this:
rpm -e apt-devel-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm
error: package apt-devel-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm is not installed
which kinda confused me as to why it would give dependencies if it wasn't installed. anyway, this is starting to get annoying. i went ahead, though i don't know why it would work, and rm -r the apt file (apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm) and redownloaded and ran this:
rpm Uvh apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm
RPM version 4.0.4

this unfortunately didn't allow me to be able to "apt-get update", i was still getting the same error.

# dpkg -l
bash: dpkg: command not found

well dpkg is not included in the rpm port...it is a debian (or .deb option)
Try to put a star after apt..like rpm -e apt*
