Im not looking to join a war but....
One of my clients uses redhat's up2date service, and he experienced problems when trying to compile the latest version of courier. Basically, the latest libstdc++ libraries were broken, and meant he couldn't compile any c++ program. After I returned back to a previous version, everything worked okay. Im afraid I dont have any of the versions available, but it was a RH7.0 box, with all the latest available updates installed. Basically, my point being that RPMs are fine and dandy, but sometimes they cause more problems than they solve. Bry.
