I followed the instructions on the http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm. The site 
will give you all the information you need. When the apt was up and running I 
installed a few harmful packages to convince myself that everythis was 
working. I then installed one package after the other. When I was finished I 
installed them a second time to make sure all dependencies had been resolved.

For a moment I had problems with icons disapearing but they showed up later 
when installing other packages.

I guess you better install from a proper root login rather than loggin as a 
root under your personal account.

I have had no problems since.

Good luck

Sven
