[plug] [Fwd: [SAGE-AU] SUMMARY: upgrade rpm3 to rpm4]

[David Griffiths]

Hey, has anybody actually _done_ this to a RH 6.2 system?

I've just been through the process (required an extra step upgrading rpm to
3.0.5-9.6x to get the rpm --rebuild to work) and compiled the src rpm OK.
But installing it produces glibc (and other) dependency probs.

I'd be interested to hear of other peoples experiences of this.

Dave.
