Пытаюсь обновить rpm-4.0.4-alt18 -> rpm-4.0.4-alt19.
Получается такая картина:

$ sudo apt-get install rpm

Насколько я понимаю, при обновлении пакеты rpm и rpm-build взаимно зависимы
между собой.  Т.е. обновление rpm должно логически повлечь за собой обновление
rpm-build, и наоборот.  Почему тогда у apt получаются разные списки пакетов?

Подробная информация об установленных пакетах available upon request. :)
