I do not want to use debian packages with apt! In conectiva, I got rpm packages with apt-get, that is what i want to achieve here. I'll read through urpmi's man first though... but the apt version of Conectiva seemed way more useful than urpmi or mandrake-update. Maybe I just need to go through it more carefully...
