Anyone know anything about this???
Someone has changed the format of RPM's. See below:
[root@bayes viola]# rpm -i -vv xfig-3.2.3c-3.i386.rpm
D: counting packages to install
D: found 1 packages
D: looking for packages to download
D: retrieved 0 packages
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of
RPM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
error: xfig-3.2.3c-3.i386.rpm cannot be installed
D: found 0 source and 0 binary packages
[root@bayes viola]# rpm -v
RPM version 3.0.4

The problem is that I cannot seem to gracefully upgrade RPM itself. I
have a Mandrake 7.1 system.
