Then it must be the other way around. What version of apt do you have?
(rpm -q apt), the apt.conf file has to be for the version you have.
There are two, 0.3.19 (very old) and the current one (0.5.4). 

If you have 0.3 then after the update you should have 0.5.4 and you will
have to swap apt.conf again :-)

PS: here's the apt.conf that I now think will work:

=== cut here ===
Dir
{
    Bin
    {
	Methods "/usr/lib/apt";
    }
}

APT
{
    Get 
    {
	Show-Upgraded "true";
    }
}

Debug
{
    pkgRPMPM "false";
}

Acquire::CDROM::Copy "true";

RPM 
{
   // Leave list empty to disable
   AllowedDupPkgs {"^kernel$"; "^kernel-up"; "^kernel-smp";
"^kernel-debug";
                   "^kernel-enterprise"; "^kernel-source";
"^kernel-source-headers";};
   HoldPkgs {"kernel-source"; "kernel-headers"; };
}
