Get the source for a later version of APT and build it yourself.
(dpkg-source -x <dscfile>; cd apt-0.3.11; debian/rules binary).
Install this APT, then add a deb-src line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
and do a "apt-get -b source gnome-apt". You will need the -dev
files for the gnome packages that APT depends on.

Rebuilding a package from source is a good experience. With 2500
packages in Debian, you may come across a scenario that requires
you to do this because of a package bug.
