[PlanetCCRMA] PlanetCCRMA and Red Carpet

[Bernard Fortz]

Hi Fernando,

Thank you for the feedback. The problem was indeed the db1 vs db4 stuff,
but all I want is to find a package manager able to work both with
Ximian and Planet, because they provide two wonderful set of packages.

I don't want to enter an endless discussion, but the problem seems
apt-get related: other rpm package managers don't complain. Why is db1
only obsoleted by db4 with apt-get ?  No problem with the plain rpm
command, red carpet or yum. Yum is great, but there is no yum repository
for Planet. 

So the red carpet solution is the best for me, it works well, and it
seems people at Ximian are willing to extend the set of repositories
available.

Bernard
