In theory, yes. In practice, there is often more than one .src.rpm package per application. And now to reality;-): On Mon, 2009-05-25 at 07:50 -0500, M.

Results were the same. Yes, saw these on other packages from F11 and I hadn't time to figure out how to circumvent that (which is the main reason for using F10 packages ....). http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/clamav-0.95.1-1.el5.src.rpm (from the EPEL repository - Fedora packages ported to RHEL/CentOS) should work with "old" rpm binaries. > I realize now I'm getting into a RedHat specific question and may need > to move this to a RedHat list.
