I downloaded the src.rpm for koffice-1.1beta from the cooker directory. I am running Mandrake 8.0. I try to build it and it ALMOST completes but then craps out with: Processing files: koffice-devel-1.1-0.beta1.1mdk Finding Provides: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides)... Finding Requires: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires)... PreReq: rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 Huh? I the same rpm 4.0-26mdk rpms as Cooker has. None of these files has changed since the release of 8.0 (yet). I must assume that the i586.rpm in the cooker binary directory was therefore built with essentially the same background as my system (except that the i586.rpm is unusable on an 8.0 system unless you install kde 2.2 as well). I am trying to build this for my 8.0 system witn kde 2.1.1. What does the above message really mean? I do believe that rpm-4.0-26mdk is WELL beyond rpm-4.0-1 (the rpmlibs are also similarly beyond 4.0-1). -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
