I don't think it's a good comparison when you look at Red Hat rpm
package versions compared to Mandrake rpm package versions.  The person
packaging the Mandrake version may not have left the same holes in the
config as the person doing the Red Hat version.
So if Mandrake got it right on try 18, while Red Hat took until try 27,
just smile and be glad that your packages are suffixed with mdk.
