Not that bad once you know how to do it.
First get a copy of rpm version 3.0.5 or 3.0.6 and upgrade to that. It
understands the version 4 format but is packaged in version 3 format.
Then upgrade to rpm 4.x, and run the rpm --updatedb command to rebuild
your database in the new format. You'll have to do that or no new rpm
commands will work.
What I'm not quite sure of are the proper glibc versions. I've gotten
odd conflicts on some machines, apparently saying that my glibc was too
_new_ for rpm 3.0.5 or 3.0.6. If anybody can explain that, I've got a
Red Hat 6.2 file server that would be really grateful.
