Dave,

You need a copy of RPM 3.0.6 to handle the newer format RPM packages.  I
would suggest downloading a copy of SuSE's SRPM from their Intel directory
on the FTP server, and rebuilding it from there.  If I remember correctly,
that's what I did on my systems.

Subject: SuSe RPM upgrade.


Hi, Linux gurus.

I'm attempting to install a (source) RPM package on SuSE Linux. When
I issue the rpm command, I get the following error message:
"only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM"
I seem to recall something about the need to upgrade the version of
RPM shipped with the SuSE distro, but I can't find it anywhere. Can
someone please refresh my memory? TIA.

Dave Jones
