You poor fellow. You probably downloaded apt from Fedora Extras. Their
FC4 version should be avoided by newbie users because the sourcelist
is totally broken. Get the latest package from
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/apt/ , uninstall your version of apt,
and install Dag's package. Read Dag's FAQ,
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php , before use.

By the way, yum is easy to use. As superuser or root run "yum
upgrade".  (You don't have to do an update command.)  For more
informatiion "man yum" and "man yum.conf" should do the trick.
