When you encounter a problem with apt, determine whether the problem is in the client - or in the server software. In case the problem is in the server software (aptate) you may find assistance at the apt4rpm mailinglists: <apt4rpm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> or <apt4rpm-users@lists.sourceforge.net>. If the problem is in the client software (apt-get/apt-cache) you may find support at the apt-rpm mailinglist: <apt-rpm@distro.conectiva.com.br>.
We hope that you enjoy using apt and are looking forward to your contributions. Being patches or promoting the use of apt with your fellow linux users and towards your distributor!
