Ack, apt-get still failing for me, stumped. [RH8] I posted about this last week, and I'm still stumped.  apt-get is just
not working for me, and I can't figure out what the problem is.

I've tried removing the apt rpms, making sure to remove any traces left
behind (/etc/apt /var/state/apt /var/cache/apt), and still, I get
"couldn't find package xmms-mp3" when running "apt-get install xmms-mp3".

Any clues?  Here's a log of a fresh try:
