I installed Centos3.4-x86_64 and I notice that I get duplicate packages. i.e. I also notice that the duplate packages exist on the cd install as well.
[root@bayamo RPMS]# rpm -qa | grep pam_krb pam_krb5-1.73-1 pam_krb5-1.73-1
when I use apt after downloading from Dag's site it complains about duplicate packages after running apt-get update.
I am missing something to get my x86_64 system to update with apt the same way i386 system does, Mebbe someone can provide a hint.

Use yum - apt isn't multiarch capable.

I rewrote my kickstart files to use yum. and everything is working perfectly fine now. Can you comment on why apt does not support multiple architectures ?

by design, apt4rpm does not handle arch as a part of the package name. its unlikely to ever be fixed.

x86_64 chips can run both 32bit (i386) and 64bit (x86_64) programs, so you might need to support both arches.
Apt isn't written to be able to resolve multiple library arch dependencies.
All development on apt for rpm from Mandriva is stopped, the maintainers are now doing SmartPM ( http://smartpm.org ). Not sure how well (or if) SmartPM does multilib arches.
That is why apt is not in the CentOS-4 base as a package manager and why there is no x86_64 apt package (in CentOS extras) or x86_64 apt repo in the tree. ( http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/apt/ )

:( thanks. too bad. I was growing fond of apt. I forgot what RPM-hell was.
Is it just me or is yum not nearly as capable at sorting out dependencies across multiple repositories. I am using dag, dries, atrpms, and kde-redhat rpms and with apt on a i386 system I never had to manually do anything, but yum will just not sort things the same way.

If there are package conflicts yum will stay them open and inform the user. You will have to decide manually which repository you want to give the preference.
