I was trying to fix a problem I'm having with the apt repository
update script the other day, so I totally removed the directory and
rebuilt it.  Unfortunately, that didn't fix my problem, so I need to
look at it a little harder...

Anyway, in the process I removed all the symlinks that make the "old"
sources.list entries work.  You can probably fix the problem with
this:

  perl -pi.orig -e 's,/redhat,, if (/silug/)' /etc/apt/sources.list

In other words, lines like this:

  rpm http://ftp.silug.org/pub/apt redhat/7.3/en/i386/redhat os updates-os

need to change to this:

  rpm http://ftp.silug.org/pub/apt redhat/7.3/en/i386 os updates-os

I'd just go in and re-add the symlinks, but I'm still trying to debug
my problem...
