Okay. I finally figured this out I think.. was trying to upgrade
menu.. which requires a new rpm.. but rpm was failing to build..

gettext-0.10.40-1 requires libltdl3 (instead of libltdl0 which I had
before).. the libtool buildreq without a version number just isn't
enough.. 

Then once the new gettext is installed, rpm-4.0.3-0.27 will build (it
previously had an error message of:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `all-no-@BUILD_INCLUDED_LIBINTL@',
needed by `all-no'.  Stop.

Oops. Spoke too soon. rpm needs a buildreq of yacc too:
yacc ./getdate.y
make[2]: yacc: Command not found
make[2]: *** [getdate.c] Error 127

Oh yeah.. the buildrequires needs to be updated about python.. currently
has "python-devel >= 2.0" even though the requires for the rpm-python
package say "python >= 2.1". They both need to be >= 2.1 or it fails
during the compile of python/rpmmodule.c

Can somebody else verify this and see about getting the buildreq
updated?
