Hmmm, can't seem to get readline-devel installed:
alta:/home/mraible/downloa
package readline-4.3-306.5 (which is newer than readline-4.3-306) is already installed
So since it already appears to be installed, I tried readline-devel, but no luck:
alta:/home/mraible/downloa
error: Failed dependencies:
readline = 4.3-306 is needed by readline-devel-4.3-306
The major problem I'm experiencing is I'm trying to remotely build a box that has literally *nothing* on it - not even gcc. My task is to install CVS, Java, etc. and I figure using "apt-get" is one of the easiest ways. I can't compile anything b/c I don't have gcc. I don't have the CDs and they're not available b/c the guy who set it up is on vacation for a week. I can't use YaST (no CDs) or YOU (don't know username/password), so that's why I am where I am.
I can't seem to find the readline-devel RPM on the net:

Hi mraible,
It comes with readline I believe.
