Doesn't sound like you're actually installing fresh, because that error  
message indicates you've already got some atrpms packages on the  
machine. The procedure is to download the atrpms-kickstart rpm, install  
it, then run a dist-upgrade, which actually replaces the kickstart with  
apt and atrpms proper. Somehow, you have atrpms already installed, but  
apparently not apt (evidenced by the fact your system can't apt-get).

Try these steps:
1) # rpm -e atrpms
2) # rpm -ivh  
http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/atrpms-kickstart/atrpms- 
kickstart-9-3.i386.rpm
3) # apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
