I am now working on a software package from SourceForge.
In order to compile the most recent CVS version, I need first to run
autoconf on it.
Unfortunately, the current version requires autoconf 2.13, and I have
version 2.12 (my stable Linux system is relatively old, and based upon
RedHat 5.1; and I don't like the idea of destabilizing it by careless
upgrades).
No problems, look for the appropriate RPM in a recent RedHat version.
RedHat 7.2 has autoconf 2.13 RPM.
I try to do rpm -U to the new autoconf RPM package. Turns out that it
requires a new version of RPM (version 4 or something like that), and my
old Linux has an old version of RPM (version 2.5).
I am not aware of any relevant features (for the software package in
question), which really require the new versions of autoconf and RPM to be
used.
Damn!

There is no IGLU Cabal. People are busy upgrading their Linux
installations, "just to keep up with the Joneses", and waste time
re-stabilizing upgrades which didn't go well.
