If you use aptget to install a package already installed as an RPM,
you're likely to overwrite files, and cause quite a mess.

I'm sure that an RPM based system and a Debian based system can live
side by side, but if you install the same package from either system at
the same time it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Graham
