I have downloaded the latest version of initscript - in for a penny in for pound. However the rpmlib problem remains mandrake 7.1 comes with rpm-3.0.4-0.12mdk this is newer than rpm 3.0.3-1 looking closer at the console output below it actually says less than. Is this a mistake or do these packages really mean it or is there some mistake in the compilationmof those particular rpms?
