I'm assuming by the lack of response on this for three weeks that I
either have a problem that nobody cares about, nobody else is having,
nobody can come up with a fix for, or several/all the above.
Since sending this, I've updated the popt and rpm packages to 0.21mdk,
but it still acts the same. Does ANYBODY have any clues as to why this
may be happening, and how I can debug/fix it?
