Apt downloads the latest rpm headers and then compares them to my local rpm
header database.

The fvwm that I have installed is from your website, it's just that when I
installed it, I had to use "--nodeps". I downloaded it again, just now, and I
ran rpm with "--upgrade" as you suggested, and I got the usual libstroke
dependency failure:
% rpm --upgrade fvwm-2.4.17-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libstroke.so.0 is needed by fvwm-2.4.17-1
> You may find one of the libstroke rpms on our rpm page, should work with any
RedHat version.
What do you mean by "one of the libstroke rpms"... is this some fvwm rpm with
libstroke incorporated into it, or do you mean that there is a libstroke rpm,
with just libstroke, and not fvwm?
