What makes you think so?
Two things make me think that: 1) In the set of enabled repositories, only
the apt package in "extras" provides 'libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2'. 2)
Yum
seems to ignore the installed apt package and its provides, which in this
thread has been described as a bug.
I hope we agree that it should see the installed apt package *if* it
provides libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2 already.
$ rpm -q apt ; rpm -ql apt | grep libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0
apt-0.5.15cnc6-53.4.rhfc3.at
/usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0
/usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.0.1.1
The query is only half the truth as it is only lists actual files, not the
provided virtual capabilities:
$ rpm -q apt ; rpm -q --provides apt
apt-0.5.15cnc6-12.r362
apt-mirrorselect
config(apt) = 0:0.5.15cnc6-12.r362
libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2
apt = 0:0.5.15cnc6-12.r362
The same is probably true of all other repos as well.
IMO there is some other explicit dependency between fedora.us's
synaptic and apt.
$ rpm -qR synaptic | grep -i apt
config(synaptic) = 0.55.3-2
libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.2
