Looks about right - apt worked great for me until last Christmas, and hasn't worked at all since, on any cooker site. I suspect the guy at mandrake who used to do this has left, and they never bothered to assign the task to someone else. > (Also, maybe apt should be moved from RPMS2 to RPMS, at least for > cooker??)
