I don't think so.  I just tested this on another box with the same setup
as leopard.

[root at penguin atanner]# rpm -q up2date
up2date-2.7.61-7.x.2

[root at penguin atanner]# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.0.3-1.03

[root at penguin atanner]# rpm -q apt
apt-0.3.19cnc55-1sp_rh7x_realtime.5


But on my workstation, I have the same version of up2date and a newer
rpm:

[atanner at pelican PCs_Unix]$ rpm -q up2date
up2date-2.7.61-7.x.2

[atanner at pelican PCs_Unix]$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.0.4-7x

[atanner at pelican PCs_Unix]$ rpm -q apt
apt-0.3.19cnc55-realtime.9


Can someone explain what an apt-get install does differently than an
apt-get upgrade, that an apt-get install apt works when an apt-get
upgrade apt does not?  I thought both would remove apt and then install
the newer one.
