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.

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
