There was nothing wrong with apt-rpm, I've been using it until November last year on CentOS-5 before I switched to RHEL6. The multi-lib problems were exagerated and fixed, the biggest problem was the lack of development after the main developer moved to Conectiva, and the second maintainer to Red Hat. But I do prefer python over C++ anytime, though speedwise it was unbeatable. -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- dagit linux solutions, info at dagit.net, http://dagit.net/ [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
