Which is the major number? <grin> Have you ever switched from RH6.x to RH7.x? RedHat changed the format of RPM files a bit and older 'rpm' programs can only handle the older format. New RPMs (for RH7.x) use the new format and need the new 'rpm' to read them. There is a 3.<something> version of rpm that sorta handles version 4 rpms and that can be used to install the verison 4 of rpm to install other packages if you have a RH system. -D
