Thanks for the info.  I have contacted the maintainer directly and am 
waiting for a response.

Thanks for the tip about moving the dir out of the way - I may work on 
that.  I was hoping for a solution like used with yum where you can

idea of the technical difficulties that raises.

Thanks again,
