Yes, the old APT did not put an arch string and full version on the file
so it won't read a new apt cache. The best bet is to use APT to install
the new APT from slink, manually renaming the files if you have to and
then install the potato APT.
There will not be a v3 libc5 APT, it now requires egcs g++ to compile and
will not work with g++ 2.7
