I don't understand how apt-get may work at all, does not it require an
updated list of packages to start to work, how did you define this list?
Unless I miss some apt-get repository that features fvwm-2.4.17 rpm,
do not use apt-get, it can't help you here.
Amyway, just install one of the libstroke rpms that you may find on the
Net and you will be fine with "rpm --upgrade fvwm-2.4.17-1.i386.rpm".
You may find one of the libstroke rpms on our rpm page, should work with
any RedHat version.
