I would speculate that you do not fully understand how rpm works,
hence your inability to see the problems. RPMs are not individual
entities; most belong to a product in a many to one relationship RPMs
to product. rpm (the program) is designed to work at the product
level and requires all rpms of a product to be presented to it at
once if dependencies are to be properly resolved. This usually
requires a command line like 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm' which is inconsistent
with the present 'unsupported' directory structure unless products
are separated into subdirectories by product, viz KDE2.1.
Also, if you present two versions of an RPM to rpm, rpm will bail out
(wouldn't you?).
