That's down to a difference in approach between the Net-SNMP project packaging, and that used by RedHat/Fedora. We basically supply a single RPM containing everything that we regard as "core", while RedHat splits this into a number of separate packages. I thought that the most recent N/S-supplied RPMs included the necessary meta-information to handle this, but it's quite possible that this isn't working properly. The safest thing would be to uninstall the RedHat-supplied RPMs before installing ours. Alternatively, you could use the RedHat SRPM (and spec file) to build a suitable unified RPM - Fedora 5 comes with 5.3, so that would probably be the best starting point.
