Hi Brandon. I found that using the above method, that apt for FC4 would not 
download and install. I used wget as user to download it, then as root 
installed it, as below.
$ wget 
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/apt/rpms/apt-0.5.15cnc6-4.rhfc4.ccrma
Just one space after wget, then the URL.
This will put the apt rpm in your home directory. Then su to root, and type.
rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.15cnc6-4.rhfc4.ccrma

Your problem may be different to mine though, because I don't remember all the 
failed deps problems.

It's only a very small .txt file, and you need to install it as root. It 
should just return you to the prompt if it installs ok.
You can check to see if it's downloaded ok, using, as user, rpm -q -a --last , 
and see if it's on the list. If not, then download the key first, which ends 
up in your home directory, then, su to root on the CLI, and type.
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.planetccrma.txt
This will be instantaneous, and will return you to the prompt.
